MahaVia Education Outreach 

Being passionate about sharing their art and experiences, Derren and Julianna offer a variety of educational outreach programs for flamenco. From high school to university level, they teach the essentials of flamenco.  Offering classes for dance and music students as well as an informative Lectures/Demo series.

Education Outreach Class Descriptions:                                                 Flamenco Lecture and Demonstration: Derren and Julianna start off with presenting the history of flamenco, explaining its origins, influences, cultural impact and role in today’s world.  We will explain the components, structure, and musical dialogue of flamenco while offering brief demonstrations. , We’ll also talk about our personal experiences with learning this challenging art-form and have time for Q-and-A.  

Flamenco Choreography/Technique Class:  This class is designed for dance students or anyone interested in learning the movement of flamenco. Julianna and Derren will start by introducing a specific song form (palo) and it's rhythmic pattern (compas) with hand clapping (palmas) and move into basic technique including body posture (cuerpo), arm and hand movement (braceo y floreo), marking steps (marcaje) and footwork (taconeo).  And finally Julianna will set a little choreography (pataita) they can dance to while Derren plays and Julianna sings and claps.                                                                                   Students will walk away with an understanding of basic flamenco movements, rhythms and the relationship between the music and the dancer.                                                                                                                        Required attire for class includes:  Ladies – comfortable top, tights or dance pants, a full skirt and heeled shoes (flamenco, character or dress shoe with a strong, wide heel)  Gentlemen – comfortable shirt, slacks and heeled shoes or boots.

Flamenco Rhythms Class: In this class we explore the different rhythmic patterns in flamenco.  Rhythm is a vital component, and expresses itself in a wide range of subtle variations. We’ll focus both on specific rhythmic patters as well as proper palmas (clapping) technique, a deceptively challenging and important part of traditional flamenco. We’ll also integrate the cajon and guitar into the lesson.
