Experience Flamenco Portland provides a broad and accessible flamenco experience of instruction, performance and community through classes and events with local and international artists in Portland, OR, retreats in the Western US, guided trips to Spain to get to know flamenco in its birthplace, and flamenco articles posted to the blog. Our Portland classes emphasize technique, improvisation, and the relationship between the cante (singing), baile (dancing), and compás (rhythm) through a positive community based learning environment. We believe that focusing on these skills and paying respect to where flamenco comes from are essential in allowing students to grow into strong flamenco dancers. We believe that learning is an interactive process that should be fun. Flamenco is not simply another form of dance; it offers numerous benefits to your health and well being. Expect to have a good time learning a new way of moving in a supportive and encouraging environment while experiencing the emotional benefits of physically using your body and the cognitive benefits of exercising your brain. We are also available for private parties, weddings and business events.
The Portland Ballet provides formal training for dancers of any skill level. Our comprehensive curriculum begins with Creative Ballet classes (ages 3-6) and progresses through seven levels of Curriculum Ballet (ages 6-19). We also offer the region's only Men's Ballet program, aimed specifically at developing confidence and ability in young male dancers. In addition, adult students are encouraged to drop in for intermediate level Open Classes or to register for our beginning level adult series. TPB's entire teaching staff possesses high-level professional performance experience and brings that expertise to every class. Additionally, TPB's partnership with The George Balanchine Trust allows students the honor to perform Balanchine's master choreography. We help children develop as dancers, but also as people. By building self-confidence, maturity and self-discipline, TPB dancers learn to care for their bodies and face challenges with poise. Regardless of whether or not they have professional aspirations, each of our students gains a lifelong appreciation for the arts. For those who do wish to pursue dance careers, TPB provides first-rate pre-professional training. Many of our alumni have gone on to dance professionally with companies across the country.
We celebrate afrodance styles and promote cultural diversity and community engagement within the Pacific Northwest.
