The "Flamenco Experience"

Ok, and now the "Flamenco Experience". Its really curious to see the interest this dance provoke specially to the non spanish people... Is because of the typical spanish topic, or is it because of a secret human force? I leave you to decide the answer and while thinking of it you can watch the two videos at the end of the post, that are based on the flamenco and sign language day of the ATHENS Workshop Working WIth Hands.


In the first one we practice the basic hand´s movements on flamenco like wrist rotations, extension, flexion and movement of the five fingers... we also moved the shoulders and it was really funny....
The second one is an improvisation participants made just taking their previous sign language conversation and repeat it adding the flamenco movements they just learned...  
It’s interesting to observe that participants’ body attitude turned out to be more relaxed, open and spontaneous than it was before. Their facial expression showed what was also confirmed verbally; they were confident and satisfied...

Special thanks to Tania for offering us this special session of flamenco dance!
