Flamenco is a professionalized art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of Southern Spain. In a wider sense, it refers to these musical traditions and more modern musical styles which have, themselves been deeply influenced and become blurred with the development of flamenco over the past two centuries. It includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance), jaleo (vocalizations), palmas (handclapping) and pitos (finger snapping).

All flamenco dance classes will explore the history, culture and structure of flamenco. The structure of flamenco is understood through a study of its unique musical structure, with an emphasis on the study of palmas, hand-clapping. The dancer is trained in both upper body and lower body technique, with an emphasis on taconeo, footwork. The goal of this program is to prepare each student for a career in a professional flamenco program.
