CLASS DESCRIPTION
Fandangos de Huelva
El Fandango is a very old style of dance that, over time, has acquired flamenco traits. Nowadays there are many types of Fandangos, and the type that we will be teaching in this class is very popular in the Huelva region of Spain. The dance is somewhat flirtatious, with movements that can be associated with one person trying to attract another. This course is divided into two parts (beginner 103 and 104) and will teach the students four Fandangos.

Classes & Shows Testimonials
I've studied flamenco with several different teachers, and I feel like I get something unique and special from each of them. I've studied flamenco for about 4 years now, and I've taken class (semi-private) with Malita for the past year. Studying with Malita has been a very fun and positive experience for me, and has really helped to address some of my major weaknesses (although, as she will remind me, I still have a long way to go!). Malita really emphasizes stage presence and the ability to communicate effectively with an audience, and I think this has really made a difference in my dancing that other people have noticed as well. I addition, Malita does not teach fixed choreography, but rather how to improvize within a given palo. Without having to stress about memorizing choreography, this in turn frees you up to have fun and express yourself, and forces you to "tune in" and respond more to what is happening musically -- and all of this is how flamenco was intended to be performed. This is not to say that technique is ignored -- and Malita pushes each student to be the very best dancer they are capable of being, which I think is great. I also like that she analyzes each dancer individually and helps you to figure out what works and doesn't work for you specifically (which may be different than what works best for someone else). So I can definitely say that studying with Malita has made a huge difference for me and I'm so glad that I became one of her students!

Besos,
Rachel


Malita’s greatest quality as a teacher is her understanding of what works best for individual students, and the grace and good humor that she uses when teaching. I take both private and group lessons with Malita which I enjoy very much and I am very satisfied with the progress of my dancing.

Elsa Villarino


I have been taking Malita's semi-private lesson since August 2007, and it has been such an eye-opening experience to me. She's been helping me come out of my comfort zone and develop my self confidence as a performer. Before taking her class, I'd never imagined myself performing in public being accompanied by live musicians. What makes Malita such a great teacher is that she is so observant that she sees everything you do in a class and provides you with honest feedback. I like that she tells you not only the area of development to work on but also your strengths so that you can find your own style. I also like the fact that she doesn't follow a set of choreography, but instead she encourages you to put together your own palo, which forces you to understand compas. Keeping up with her expectation is challenging, but when you try hard, she does know it, and you will be given great opportunities you've never thought of.


Ikuko Kawasaki

I enjoy the class very much as I always end up dancing a lot in the class.
The class is small so I get enough attention to be corrected.
Malita knows when to be strict and to be sweet, and that pushes students to improve.

Yoko Fujiwara


I've been studying flamenco, on and off, for quite some time now, with various Atlanta teachers. I've been taking lessons from Malita for 4 months now, and for the first time, I feel that I am actually understanding the structure of the dance as a whole. By not learning a set chorography, this has allowed for me to see how flamenco is pieced together and created. Her discipline in and "homework" has encouraged me to develop as a dancer on my own. Malita has also truly given me so much confidence in my ability to dance!!

Sandra Bulens

*All flamenco Semi-private courses will have a maximum of 6 to 7 students.
