Flamenco Passion (1:00-2:30)
Pedralta Dance go back to the roots of Flamenco and incorporate flamenco and sevillana moves into their improvisational repertoire.

Donna’s workshop will focus on beautiful hands and arms and use of floreos (circular wrist movements) and new combos. This is an open level workshop.

More important than the moves and combos is the spirit of Flamenco, releasing the power of duende from within.
