Spring 2007: Saturday 19th of May
After a strong technical work focusing on braceo, we worked on a new choregraphy of Tango flamenco, which starts with a relatively long sequence of hand-clapping. The music used was Sevilla nació de un sueño, by Marcelo Sousa (CD Contra viento y marea).
Winter 2007, Saturday 10th of February and Saturday 10th of March
After an intense rhythmic work, we studied a Tango flamenco. The music used was Tiempo de soleá by the Spanish group Ojos de Brujo (CD Barí). This new choreography is based on a traditional structure of tango flamenco but introduces moves from gypsy dance and belly dance, such as little hops, hips accents, chest circles...which gives a strong character of fusion to the dance.
