Flamenco dance and music has a long and colorful past. Originating from the region of Spain called Andalusia, it has become hugely popular all over the world. In 2010, Flamenco was declared a World Heritage Treasure by UNESCO. Classes are filled with friendships, rhythm, and an atmosphere that lets the kids have fun, enjoy, and grow their own different artistic talents. Flamenco dance includes lots of footwork--especially stomping! Students will also learn hand clapping and finger snapping patterns to flamenco rhythms, arm and hand movements for both boys and girls, and to hold their bodies like proud dancers. Our Monday afternoon class, from 3:35pm to 4:30pm, is for younger students (Kindergarten to 2nd Grade). Our Wednesday afternoon class, from 1:20pm to 2:30pm, is for older grade students (Third to Fifth Grade) Please do not hesitate to reach out to edenhancement@ |
Flamenco is open to students at Puesta del Sol, with a maximum of 16 students per class per session. If the minimum enrollment of 7 students is not met, the class may be cancelled. If we do not have a chaperone available for the class day, class may be cancelled.
The PTA Chaperone must be present at every class session. Their responsibilities include taking attendance when students arrive and being available to help with emergencies, and checking students out at the end of class. The PTA Chaperone receives a 50% discounted registration fee for their child. Only one discounted registration is available per session. Chaperones must have a current Bellevue School District background check, be an active PTA Member, and follow the provided Chaperone Checklist. Please email edenhancement@
