Join dance teaching artist Alice Blumenfeld in learning the percussive rhythms of flamenco, a folkloric dance originated from the many cultures and traditions of Spain. Using just your body, learn essential handwork and footwork that a flamenco dancer uses to create rhythms and interact with fellow musicians and dancers. By the time you’ve finished this video, you’ll be able to create an original performance with unique rhythmic patterns.
