"Festival Flamenco with Ribbons"
Searching for a way to incorporate the Olympic spirit into your dance studio or gymnasium? Rhythmical gymnastics is popular especially with younger students because of the colorful ribbons and high-energy physical activity. In this session, the routine includes original choreography with jumps, turns and designs without tumbling - for all ages and abilities. The routine is based on the music "Are, Are" composed and played by El Mondao Y Su Grupo. Single and group formations with special ribbon techniques: spirals, snakes and swings in all variations and directions are explored with typical Flamenco rhythms. Competition-approved ribbons are provided.
