Students at this level should already have a background of at least three years of flamenco dance instruction, if not more. Advanced dancers should have performance experience, solid knowledge of flamenco palos and compas, as well as experience and skill in a wide range of flamenco technique. Advanced dancers will study technique with an emphasis on increasing speed, dexterity, and musicality, will practice listening and responding to live or recorded music, and will learn choreographies for performance opportunities throughout the year.
