floreo (finger movements) and zapateado (footwork). The children
will also learn short choreographies to enhance their overall
coordination.
Teaching Style

Cyrena's teaching style has evolved from her experience teaching
Suzuki cello. In the Suzuki Method, children as young as the
age of four learn to play the cello through games, imaginative
play, repetition, ear training and continued parental involvement.
This concept carries beautifully into teaching dance.
In flamenco class, students learn to move with joy and confidence
through dance-oriented games and repetition. Flamenco classes
foster independence, coordination, cooperation, concentration,
respect for other students and respect for the art of flamenco.
The studio also provides a cooperative, non-competitive environment
where children can discover the joy of dancing. Kids have
so much fun they often forget how much they are learning!
The kids' curriculum comprises of all the basic elements
of flamenco: braceo (arms), torso movement, zapateado (footwork),
floreo (finger movements), jaleo (shouts of encouragement),
palmas (handclapping) and understanding simple and more complex
rhythmic patterns. Through dance, children learn to connect
with their bodies, gain a sense of rhythm and feel confidence
in movement and self-expression. Students are encouraged to
perform in costume at quarterly in-studio performances and
at the annual student recital, which adds extra excitement
to the class.
Cyrena has been teaching young children for fifteen years,
and is a positive, articulate and engaging instructor who
is passionate about flamenco. She welcomes children of all
ages, shapes and sizes to join in!
