PRAXIS with Hilde Westad Brandshaug - "FLAMENCO emotion" - Between Feeling and Movement
Wednesdays 11.03 - 18.03 - 25.03.2026 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM at Flamenco Trondheim, Båtmannsgata 4, Trd.

About the classes: This workshop offers an introduction to flamenco as both a dance and a cultural expression, rooted in centuries-old traditions from Andalusìa in southern Spain. We
will explore flamenco's unique rhythm, movement, and emotional depth, focusing on connecting with yourself and the music, cultivating mental and physical presence. It can open up an inner strength that embraces power, softness, and elegance. Throughout the workshop, we will work on basic technique, posture, and expression, as well as a short choreography in a four-beat rhythm to melody/song. This flamenco style is energetic and playful, while leaving room for deeper interpretation. 

Practical Information: You'll need comfortable pants/tights and a top. A skirt with some width can be worn over the pants if you like, as it can be incorporated into some dance movements—but that's optional. The characteristic footwork in flamenco creates a clear rhythmic sound from shoes with metal nails under the heel and toe. For beginners, character/theatre shoes or simple dress shoes with a small heel and hard sole work well. Avoid sneakers or shoes with rubber soles, and make sure the shoes fit securely to give you freedom to dance. Flamenco shoes can be borrowed as well. Welcome to a fusion of strength, rhythm, and emotion in flamenco!

Who can join: The course is open to anyone who wishes to explore this exciting and passionate dance and experience how to integrate some of it into their own unique identity.
