Additional Information:

Students’ progress through these flamenco levels similar to grades in an academic school; however, all students move at different rates.  Some spend more than two years in one level while the mind and the body learn to work together; some may progress much faster.  When the student has learned the flamenco technique appropriate for each level and when the student’s body has become strong enough to accomplish those movements, then the student is moved to the next level after passing the end of year test.  Advancement is based on ability, not age.  In this way, the student begins to assimilate the layers of knowledge that form the foundation of flamenco.

There is a recommended number of hours per week for each level to keep up with the class.  The more hours devoted to practice each week will generally increase advancement through the levels more rapidly than those devoting less time to study.
