Dancer needed for Art Class - Red Deer

The following is a request from Deirdre Ashenhurst, an art programmer with the Red Deer Museum:

We are hosting a drawing class this summer focused on Flamenco dance. I am looking to hire a dancer interested in dancing for an art class. The class is on Tuesday July 11th from 1-4PM at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery.

The concept is to have a dancer, dance, pose and rest while people draw. The weekly summer program is designed to expose our visitors to a culturally diverse range of practices, while offering an art activity they can bring home with them.

There would be a fee of $285.00 paid to the dancer, it is not a volunteer request.

For more information please contact me at Deirdre.Ashenhurst@reddeer.ca

Hope to see you there!


Our experienced flashmob dancers from the fall are offering two more 1.5 hour classes for anyone wanting to learn the choreography. We are also offering times to practice the cante on these dates.

New Class dates
Feb. 10 and Feb. 12 – learn or review the choreography or cante
Feb. 17 - Full Flashmob – review only

If you’re interested in joining us please let us know at the link below so we know how many people to expect and we can keep you informed if the class time gets changed or cancelled.
 
All levels welcome. Some basic previous flamenco dance experience is required. Have you taken a session of flamenco before? If you've got some basic arms and have done a bit of choreography por tangos, you'll be able to follow along. More advanced? There's a lot of opportunity to put your own flair into the choreography.

Have some cante experience and want to practise your flamenco singing? Just want to join in with palmas? Come to the cante and compas practice.
