Field Trip #59: Flamenco Dancing

Here's yet another possibility for bringing the world into your classroom. Carmen de Vicente hosts Flamenco/Spanish Dance classes for children throughout the summer and this bodes well for finding someone who would be able to work well with kids. She comes highly qualified to teach since she studied in the most prestigious dance schools in Spain and has a professional resume that would be the envy of most up and coming dancers.

I think there are a couple of ways to approach this which would be either a dance workshop/class or strictly a presentation with a short discussion and explanation afterward. I think this decision will mainly be made based on the costs associated with each possibility. I prefer to have my students actively involved so a class would work best. Be sure to contact her very far in advance so that you can be sure to schedule her for when you would like to study about Spain and the Arab influences of Spain.
