Advanced Level Cuadro/Performance Class: Monday's 7:15pm - 8:15pm
Cuadro is a term used to explain the improvisational element in flamenco. It is a critical concept in understanding how to dance freely within the flamenco structure. These workshops are designed to assist dancers in palos such as Tangos and Bulerias where students listen closely to the music and respond accordingly.
You may also observe these workshops to learn more about "Cuadro" dancing without directly participating. Observation of these workshops is offered at a discounted rate. As an observer you will be seated during class.

Instructor Biography
Joelle has been teaching in Santa Rosa since 2003. She has worked to build a local flamenco community where students can enjoy flamenco parties, performance opportunities, work with professional musicians, and learn together in a safe and fun environment.
Joelle's refreshing approach to teaching involves character building exercises, translating the understanding of complex flamenco rhythms, and helping to reveal each students unique strengths. She has received awards from the Sonoma Arts Council and most recently she was granted a generous gift through the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Relief Fund, a COVID relief grant through The Alliance for California Traditional Arts. In 2009 she received a personal letter from Cirque du Soleil talent scout, Guilio Scatola, requesting her audition (after seeing her perform at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts) for the production of Ka. Most recently she was hired to perform flamenco during the upcoming 2022 Winter Season of Cirque de Bohéme "Gypsy." Joelle returns to Spain regularly to further her dance training. The classes she teaches in Santa Rosa are based on smaller portions of the choreography she learns there. "I bring Spain back with me so that I can share the joy that I am so fortunate to experience." |
