Escuela Flamenca Azabache, Fuengirola 9, 10, 11, 12 October 2012:
Mega excitement! Juan Antonio Pérez (Flamenco Azabache) has agreed to teach Soleá at a Flamenco dance workshop in his Fuengirola studio, where he will be accompanied by the guitarist / singer Manuel Heredia "El Yunke" (who, incidentally, gives guitar classes at the studio - look at the Escuela timetable on Juan's website - Manuel will also do private lessons and prices are reasonable. )
Costing 160 euros, the Soleá course will run for 4 days, Tuesday - Friday, between 12.00 and 14.00 in Juan's studio and is suitable for students with some previous experience. 1. 12.00 - 12.30h warm-up and technique (body language, body positioning and footwork from the choreography). 2. 12.30 - 13.30h choreography. 3. 13.30 - 14.00h palmas course, which includes structure of the dance and palmas for several palos.
This is a brilliant time to visit Fuengirola. Everything is walking distance, the sea is warm, the sand is clean, the shops are close by and it's FERIA time (6-12 October each year)!
Feria details for 2012 are not published yet, but for a taste of what you might expect, Google "Feria del Rosario" Fuengirola.
30 minutes from the airport, easy access to Malaga (train - 2/3 euros) and plenty of accommodation to suit all budgets.
Lots of videos of Azabache performances, dance classes and El Yunke on the website if you want to look at them.
