*Details:*

This is a part-time pre-professional training program focused mainly in
flamenco dance. Participants will study flamenco technique, history, and
culture, and learn both contemporary and traditional flamenco repertoire
from nationally acclaimed choreographer and instructor, Alice Blumenfeld.
Participants will receive a minimum of 200 contact hours of instruction.

*Location:*

Participants are required to be in Cleveland from September 12th - December
18th and January 23rd - May 31st. Participants are welcome to take
advantage of the various dance programs/companies in the area,
supplementing ABREPASO’s program as they see fit. This is not covered in
the program tuition. The training program will take place at various
studios in and around Cleveland.

*Program cost: *$2,750 of which $500 will be returned to the participant
upon completion of the program. A basic flamenco costume made for the
student is included in tuition costs. Work-study and scholarships are
available to those with financial needs.

This is a unique opportunity unlike any other flamenco programs offered in
the U.S. Participants receive individual attention and in-depth study of
flamenco. Through the intensive year of study, participants will gain basic
proficiency in flamenco technique, increase their musicality, and expand
their perspective on dance as a cultural art form. Participants broaden
their skill sets to include a unique and highly sought after dance form.
Students will have the opportunity to teach K-12 classes as a Teaching
