The festival continues from Saturday at 10 a.m. The meeting is set at the Salle des Cordeliers for Flamenco courses, “Fiestas por Tangos”. Two sessions are offered, first the “Baile Flamenco”, led by Mathilde Anton. “This session will guide you in learning the basic steps and expressions specific to the tango style.”

Half an hour of discussions

Another session, scheduled for the same time slot, “Palmas, compas y estribillos”, will be chaired by Juan Manuel Cortés. “This work on musicality and coordination is essential to understanding the foundations of flamenco,” explains the organization.
