depending upon your own style and the energy you put into it. Music provided

This
is a FABULOUS FLAMENCO WORKOUT. It offers women and men a challenging
opportunity to learn authentic Flamenco dance moves while building up
endurance and strengthening hands, arm and feet coordination. The program
includes a cardio-vascular exercise akin to aerobics. It is carefully
choreographed into a systematic, effective, artistic, professional workout,
geared for both high and low impact. It is broken down in three main workout
segments. Part One - Warm up. the program begins with a Flamenco floor
exercise essential to the Spanish Dance. It also focuses on neck exercises,
knee bends, ankle flexes, lunges and side stretches. Part Two - Footwork,
flexing the foot and striking the floor with the ball of the foot, then
bringing down the heel to make the two separate sounds - known as the
Classic Flamenco Toe-Heel Step and Sound. Then, you learn how to embellish
the Toe-Heel dance steps with combinations of arms and footwork. Part Three
- The Spanish Jota. The Jota is the name of a Regional Dance in Spain, with
many variations. Learning and practicing the Jota with us will help improve
your endurance as it naturally requires cardio-vascular progression. Ballet
terms and techniques are used to teach these specialized movements properly.

Contreras and Ricardo Ramirez. All are of the flamenco dance group, Cuadro
Espanol. guest dancer is Amanda. Running time is 40 minutes,. Well-made.
