About the Festival

Classes will include: Ballet Folklorico, Flamenco, Spanish Dance, and Argentine Tango. There will be classes for dance instructors, the beginner and the seasoned dancer, ages 14 - adult. (We will accept younger dancers, with experience, that want to enroll with a letter of recommendation from their dance instructor.) The classes will be divided into two levels, beginning and intermediate/advanced. Enrollment is limited to ensure quality instruction.

Each dance form will cover dance technique and an historical overview of that style. Each instructor will be teaching several specific dances from that particular style. This will provide teaching lessons that dance instructors can take back to their own studios/schools to share with their students.
