La Epoca Dance

Learning to vocalize flamenco steps with Irene La Sentio 🇪🇸 She says it's crucial to be able to say the steps both with AND without the movement - building that mind-body connection!

Balancing my own training while teaching intro classes and performing... it's all about growing together 💃✨

A little late but still celebrating International Dance Day! 🎉 Here's a spontaneous moment from the April 26th open mic performance - some impromptu footwork at the end of Dino's solo. Dance isn't about perfection, it's about feeling alive and those unexpected moments of connection.

I'll be teaching another 4-week intro/beginner class soon! Want to be the first to know when registration opens? Drop a comment or DM me to get on the email list! 💃

Flamenco hands + arms: when done right, they create magic ✨💃

The secret isn't just in the hands — it's in the *path*. Smooth, controlled, flowing through the space around you. Start slow, feel where your hands and arms want to travel, and let the movement originate from your back and shoulders.

Quality over speed always. You want the technique to feel natural, not forced.

Save this for your next practice session! 💜

Flamenco starts with the hands! 🔥

This week, we're breaking down PALMAS (rhythmic clapping) + the foundational 8-beat Tangos rhythm — the heartbeat of authentic flamenco! 🖐️🎶

Palmas aren't just warm-ups — they're how you connect to the music, feel the compás, and truly *live* the rhythm. Whether you're brand new to flamenco or leveling up your skills, nailing these fundamentals changes EVERYTHING.

In this quick breakdown, you'll learn:
• The basic palmas patterns
• How to count & feel the 8-beat Tangos rhythm
• Why palmas are essential for every flamenco dancer

🔹 Practice along, save for later, and let me know in the comments — what's been YOUR biggest challenge with mastering the rhythm?

🔹 Follow along for more beginner-friendly flamenco fundamentals!

Mastering the 3 core flamenco footwork sounds! 👣✨

In Week 2 of our journey, we're breaking down the fundamentals that make up every flamenco sequence:

• GOLPE 💥 — that sharp, percussive strike that cuts through the music
• PLANTA 🦶 — the flat, grounded step that builds stability
• TACÓN 👠 — expressive heel work that adds flair to every movement

These sounds aren't just footwork — they're your connection to the compás (rhythm). Get these right, and everything else starts to click.

🔹 Which of these three do you find most challenging? Drop a comment below — I'd love to help!
