Flamenco: World culture and history through Spanish Dance

Romany, Arabic, Jewish and Spanish peoples all collaborated to create this vibrant art form, making it a truly multicultural experience in history and social studies. In 2010, UNESCO declared Flamenco one of the "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity."

Flamenco is unparalleled for learning coordination and counting music. Students will try out a special dance floor designed to amplify the sound of their feet.
