A haughty brunette took her place on the stage in the small community hall. Her facial features drawn proudly, she held her position until the first strums of the guitar echoed throughout the building. The chorus began to clap out a rhythm and the dancer responded with taps from her nailed shoes. Pride turning to an expression of pain, she began to weave her web over the captive and entranced audience.
Whilst compás means time signature and musical metre in Spanish, in Flamenco it is the entirety of the rhythmic cycle. The beat is maintained by percussive finger tapping by the guitarist on the body of his instrument, and the palmas or clapping of the singers. The latter comes in the sharp slap of the secas or the muffled, cupped-hand sordas. An outward flick of the guitarist’s right hand and the rhythmic role of notes reverberating from the guitar resemble the drumming of the dancer’s feet. Observing the whole experience, I felt a tear slide down my cheek – seeing live flamenco is a thing not to be missed.
It was thus with great interest that I noticed a great opportunity to learn Spanish Spain. While searching on the internet for a Spanish course Spain, I found that my passion for flamenco and my desire to learn Spanish could all be realized in the one language school Spain. Studying in the Andalusian capital, the birthplace and heart of flamenco, I could study both Spanish and flamenco at a Spanish school Seville.
The course offers four daily hours of Spanish at one of the leading Spanish schools in Seville, and then an hour of flamenco everyday at a school in the centre of Seville. The duration of the course is two weeks, Monday to Friday, and the language school can even arrange accommodation for their students. Why not go to the heart of it? Learn Spanish in Spain and guarantee yourself an unforgettable experience.
