Following summer’s traditional break, Raquel Peña, celebrated flamenco artiste and choreographer, is offering lessons to Sevillana novices. The dance, a light form of flamenco, has its 18th Century origins in Seville’s April Feria.
The maestra’s affordable classes welcome learners of all ages and nationalities, lessons are in English and Spanish; men are welcome too. The ever easy-going Raquel says, “Why not come along and see if it is for you?”
The studio at Pilar de la Horadara is easily accessed. Close to the N332 it has free and easy parking. The lessons are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings. The fees are just €25 per month.
The steps are easy to learn. These include La pasada, el paseo, la zapateado, el coreo and las vueltas. Known as the Bien Parado, a feature of Sevillana is the dramatic pose the dancer takes at the close.
Raquel Peña’s Sevillana dancers, when trained, raise substantial funds for local charities. They also have the best time possible at Torrevieja spring Andalucía’s feria and other fiestas. Contact Raquel at 630 689 431 or email raquelpenya@hotmail.com
