Flamenco workshops

Puerto Flamenco company directors Francesca Grima and Andrej Vujicic will be conducting a series of intensive flamenco workshops in dance, percussion and rhythm next month.

After the premiere of their latest project, the Ring, at the Malta Arts Festival, the “progressive flamenco troupe” (UK Sunday Times) is touring the Baltics with shows and master classes. Over the past 10 years the company has presented their productions at prestigious venues and festivals across the globe, and imparted classes to hundreds of students in Europe, the US and Australia.

The 10-day workshop will be conducted at Alegria Academia Flamenca from August 2 to 6, and 8 to 12 and is organised by Ingrid Sciberras.

The dance workshops are offered for high beginners, intermediate and advanced levels and will present choreographies and techniques in Guajiras with a fan, Garrotin with sombrero and Bulerias.

The novelty this year is that the percussion workshop is designed to accompany the Bulerias dance choreography giving the students the basic tools to integrate dance and music and learn about accompaniment. For more information contact www.alegriamalta.com.
