ps. I was also thinking of working with a beginning/intermediate dancer, so didn't know if I was meant to provide a basic 'foundation' for them, or to follow them more as you would for a more experienced dancer
That's not a terrible idea but there is some issues with it. MANY student dancers have choreography memorized but don't know the parts of what they're doing. They know this big 7:00 dance and you say "lemme see you're falseta again?" or, "can I see that llamada after the footwork before the second letra?" and they'll stair at you like a deer in headlights. Practicing with someone like this really would do nothing for you. If you can find one that knows all their parts and even better what it should sound like that's really the key. I was pretty lucky to have a high level student dancer friend who could tell me if what I was doing was wrong or right, she taught me a TON. We'd run through the dances together before I played for her teachers class and it was a huge help. Avoided a lot of death stares from the teach. [:D]
Here's a basic Alegrias structure por baile but this is by no means a rule, this will just give you an idea.
Intro(falseta usually)
Tiri tri tran
footwork into llamada
Letra
Falseta
More loud and slightly off beat footwork :)
Silencio
Escobilla
Buleria de cadiz
Fast tiri tri tran
Close.
If you have material for all that you're lookin pretty good.

dancers will want compas / a beat - the guitar is just like nice wallpape
Similarly to working with interior designers, dancers want the exact wall paper for the situation, not any ol wall paper will do. They want wallpaper but it has to compliment the situation and make sense.
