From the series: Saturdays in dance.
Carnival dance workshop in the rhythm of flamenco.
Chairing: Kamila Olesinska.
Feel the hot rhythms and extraordinary energy of flamenco dance. We would like to invite you to a unique carnival workshop, during which you will move with us for a moment to Andalusia, burning with sun. Find out what flamenco is, where it comes from and, above all, try your hand at this fiery dance. Learn about the characteristic hand movements, pulsating rhythms and stepping.
If you happen to have one in your wardrobe, bring a long skirt and low-heeled shoes; if not, that's okay too, because we have a solution for that. All you need is a good mood and openness to new experiences. Gentlemen are also welcome - men dance flamenco!
