Continuing to learn flamenco and to create at home<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For several weeks now, although many of us continue to work, our business has been\u00a0\u00a0severely slowed down due to the total shutdown of the entertainment and restaurant sectors. As far as the performing arts in general and flamenco sector in particular are concerned, artists (musicians or flamenco dancers) can no longer get on stage. As a result, they face unprecedented economic challenges. For flamenco students, classes are obviously cancelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean that flamenco artists or flamenco students find themselves out of work or laid off. Indeed, it seems that, for some of them, this context is conducive to a more in-depth study of flamenco and awakens the desire for creation. Here we will specifically mention the case of the flamenco dancer or the flamenco dance student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we continue to dance flamenco at home, with little space and without disturbing our neighbours? And, when it is impossible for us to dance at home, how can we continue to learn, enriching our flamenco culture?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flamenco dancers can learn via social media<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the beginning of the Lockdown, social networks have played an important role in ensuring a continuity of flamenco life. Indeed, many flamenco dancers have published videos of themselves, confined to their homes, presenting a sequence or \u201cpat\u00e1\u201d, por buler\u00eda, por tangos or other styles in order to make their fans dance at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These initiatives to share artistic content for confined flamencos has allowed artists to maintain a certain visibility in a context where they can no longer practice their profession normally (physically). Broadcast free of charge and therefore accessible to all, these contents have also made it possible to bring this art to life within the flamenco community in search of enriching artistic occupations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many artists, the \u00a1 Ay Casta\u00f1a ! Company proposed such an initiative by launching the Instagram challenge \u201cpataita por buler\u00eda en la cocina\u201d on March 22, 2020. In the form of an explanatory video, the company presented a pat\u00e1 por buler\u00eda to learn and then dance in your kitchen (cocina): no need for flamenco shoes or a very large space; sneakers and a one-square-metre kitchen are all you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
