Flamenco for Beginners
Naomi Guerrero
Europe | New classes
An Introduction to Flamenco Rhythm and Movement. This class will help you engage every part of your body: from footwork to hip movement, from opening the chest to maintaining proper arm posture, from controlling your wrists and hands to holding your head high.
We’ll also explore rhythm—an essential element of flamenco—through footwork (zapateados) and by learning different rhythms with palmas (handclapping).
Mastering these techniques will enable you to create a sequence set to traditional music.
Flamenco grounds the individual in the present moment and invites them to assert themselves clearly and powerfully within the space and time that surrounds them.
Bio
Naomi Guerrero began focusing on flamenco in 1995. Trained primarily by the dancer Ana la China, she honed her skills with renowned dancers in Seville and, primarily, in Jerez de la Frontera.
Since 2007, she has devoted herself primarily to flamenco through regular personal practice, teaching, and occasional performances.
She teaches and shares this art form with both adults and children in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud through regular classes, private lessons, and workshops.
In 2007, she co-founded the group La Cueva Flamenca with other artists; the group performs regularly on various stages in Switzerland and France.
