Can anyone recommend a good resource for learning the ins and outs of palmas? Is there a good instructional DVD for this? An online source (and something more in-depth than YouTube)? Thanks.

May I introduce you to: The Flamenco Dancer. Generally populated in and around big cities. Can be a good ressource for learning palmas.

You can't "learn" palmas, you have to do it.

No offense, but that's not at all helpful. I already know the one experienced dancer where I live. She's not a helpful resource for this.

Obviously, learning palmas involves doing palmas. But one can learn things which one hasn't done before. I take it that's why Jason made that video in the first place.

Most dancers I know are terrible at palmas, they just clap as loud as they can and accent the obvious.
Look up Luis de la Tota on YouTube and the internet, he and his brother are great Festeros/Palmeros/Clappers [:D]. Tone is important...

find a dancer that isnt terrible at palmas and ask them to do palmas while you play as often as possible.. then just steal their tricks

Paul, thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered a copy.

For others reading this, Paul wrote a helpful, very detailed review of this DVD in the comments section of the Amazon link above.

In the US, "Flamenco Connection" sells this DVD at a cheaper price than some of the astronomical offers on Amazon.

Yeah, I've seen that happen before, as well.

Some dancers are quite good, though. A few months ago I attended a palmas workshop taught by a dancer who happened to be in my locale for a weekend. She was solid. Now, I'm looking for more.

Dancers outside spain are terrible in everything hehe [:D]
I'm glad I can learn dance accompaniment here in Jerez.
The most important advice to learn whatever; go to andalucía.
But you have to be fluent in spanish otherwise...

You would be better with an advanced guitarist than a non Spanish dancer because palmas beyond the basics is a lot more difficult than you think. To progress to the higher stages and counter rythms you have to be perfect esecially if contemplating
accompanying professionals.
There is one dvd course on the market but most of these instructional dvds are variable in quality and you risk burning your money.



Morante -> RE: Resources for Learning Palmas (Jun. 8 2014 9:47:29)

Palmas are similar to the guitar in that in order to accompany properly you have to understand the cante. Learning to play basic guitar and compas or learning basic palmas patterns are an essential first step. When you acually come face to face with a cantaor, you will realise it is just a first step, though essential just the same.
