Choreography Class “Farruca” (11am-12pm) After September 13th, please contact Zhanna before joining this class
Farruca is a spectacular male dance in 4/4 time which was originally a song or chant from the Northern Region of Galicia. It is generally accepted that the Andalucian gypsies adopted the Farruca and then changed it to suit their own tastes. Farruca is considered to be one of the more modern forms of flamenco and usually played in the key of A Minor. Although the rhythm is strong and strictly defined, some passages begin slowly and gradually build up speed, particularly in the final stages of the dance. Originally performed only by males, women have also executed the dance with great effect (dressed in pants).
