Intensive Programs Academic Calendar 2013-2014

The distinguishing element of the Andrés Marín Flamenco Abierto Dance Studio is that we offer Intensive

Programs from 1, 3, 6 or 9 months to several years at different levels. You can start an Intensive Program

at any time provided the course can be completed within the academic year which begins on September

2nd, 2013 and finishes on June 27th, 2014.

We establish 3 levels in the Flamenco Dance Intensive Programs:

The Flamenco Dance Intensive Programs have been created for all those students committed to flamenco

who wish to become professionals of this art, whatever their goals: to become part of a flamenco company,

promote the Andrés Marín Company or even successfully set up a company or school of their own.

This is why we have highly qualified teachers: in dance, with Andrés Marín, Belén Maya and Vicky Barea,

and in cante (singing), with Segundo Falcón. All the essential contents � technique, choreography and cante

� are worked weekly with the commitment and respect that flamenco requires. .

Why is it necessary to learn how to sing in order to dance flamenco? Dance is the connector between the

singing and the music. Therefore, it is necessary to assimilate the nature of the different styles in order to

give them the necessary character, and then personalize the style to your feelings and interpretation.

The Beginner-Intermediate Level Intensive Program consists of 40 hours of classes per month with an

emphasis on the development of dance technique � footwork, arms, hand movements, rhythm, balance,

posture, alignment. Skills acquired in technique are put into practice in the choreography classes. Students

will have the opportunity to understand the basic structures of various cante forms, and to sing them, through

our weekly master classes. With more than 350 training hours in the 9-month Intensive Program, the price

per hour comes out for less than 5 �!

For the experienced dancer, we offer several options to study more or less intensively. You can choose

between 38, 50 and up to 66 hours of classes per month! Whether you are looking to take your technique

to the next level or to deepen your understanding of the relationship between singing and dancing, our

Intermediate-Advanced Level Intensive Program options can help you achieve your goals.

You can attend personalized tutorials with instructor Belén Maya for advise on how to achieve your artistic

and technical objectives and develop your dance in greater depth so that you can fully benefit from the classes.

These tutorials are completely free of charge.

Advanced dancers will have the opportunity to study intensively with two consecrated artists: in dance, with

Andrés Marín and in cante, with Segundo Falcón. By working simultaneously on a singular palo (flamenco

style) in the intensive dance and singing classes, students can obtain an integral knowledge of flamenco.

Andrés Marín is one of the most significant artists in flamenco today. His productions

have centered on traditional flamenco and, specifically, on classic flamenco singing

(cante); not from a conventional perspective, but through a radical personal vision

and an utterly contemporary style. In his classes Marín uncovers the essence of

flamenco so that students may develop their own personal expression.

Belén Maya is considered one of the most important bailaoras of her time and

a pioneer of avant-garde flamenco dance. A versatile and creative artist, she has

inspired a whole generation of dancers. Her works stretch and renew the traditions

of flamenco dance while maintaining the essence and integrity of the art form.

Right now she is one of the most sought-after flamenco teachers worldwide.

Vicky Barea has performed in festivals such as the Bienal de Flamenco of Seville.

In addition to her vocation as a dancer, Vicky Barea is an exceptional and dedicated

teacher, recognized in Spain and abroad. She is regularly invited to give master

classes and workshops in many European countries.

Segundo Falcón is voice of reference on today´s flamenco scene. He has enjoyed

an extraordinary career as a soloist and as a singer for dance. Standing out

amoung the many awards he has won is the Giraldillo prize for Best Singer at the

13th Bienal de Flamenco and Best Flamenco Album for "Un Segundo de Cante".

In addition, our Intensive Programs include:

- Certificates for obtaining visas and scholarships.

- Attractive discounts for Christmas and summer courses, as well as for all parallel activities.

- Diploma for the hours taken and level reached

Accomodations. We can advise on and locate accommodation suitable for your needs.

Tutorials with Belén Maya.

Tutorials play an important role in classes with Belén Maya. The teacher uses them for personalised monitoring

of her students, as well as for advising them on achieving both artistic and technical objectives to improve

and develop their dance. Therefore, she proposes a final exercise in the form of a solo in which the students

under her tutelage create a piece taking into account all of its aspects (artistic creation, costume, music, etc�).

These tutorials are completely free of charge.

Performances. We encourage performances by students of the Andrés Marín Flamenco Abierto Dance Studio

through participation in alternative traditional and local venues. Moreover, we promote them on their first

artistic steps through social networks (Facebook and Twitter). These performances are fundamental for putting

the knowledge acquired into practice. To this end, we have created the Andrés Marín Flamenco Abierto

Students� Company, under the guidance of maestro Marín, for the School�s most outstanding students.

Private Classes. The teachers are always available to provide classes especially designed for your needs.

You can take just one hour or several hours annually. We only need prior notice of when you want your lessons

and what you would like to work on so that the teacher can best prepare your lessons.

Parallel Activities. We promote parallel activities to supplement the annual program: workshops on palmas

and compás, bata de cola, castanets, as well as lectures on cante or the history of flamenco.

Special Courses, such as in summer and at Christmas, are also an ideal opportunity to study intensively with

highly qualified teachers while enjoying Seville.

Spanish Lessons. Andrés Marín Flamenco Abierto organizes private or group classes.
