Tango–Guitar–Flamenco Week: Workshop – Flamenco in body and rhythm
A multi-sensory workshop for the whole family aimed at 7-99 year olds, where you get to know flamenco's fascinating and characteristic 12-part rhythm, compás. Flamenco dance teacher Milla-Maija Saari is the main leader of the workshop, and the musicians performing soleá are guided by guitarists Toni Jokiniitty and Pekka Siiskonen and kantele player Eva Alkula.
In the workshop, participants practice the use of the compás circle and palmas, or rhythmic claps, in flamenco. Rhythm is approached through play and physicality with the help of easy rhymes and body rhythm exercises. The aim of the workshop is to practice the palmas part to the soleá composed by flamenco guitarist Toni Jokiniity.
Those who wish can participate as palmers together in the daytime concert held at 1 p.m. in the soleá performed by guitar and kantele students.
The event is part of the Tango–Guitar–Flamenco Week program. The Tampere Tango Festival, the Tampere Guitar Festival and the Tampere Flamenco Week together form the Tango—Guitar—Flamenco week, which takes place from 11 to 20 September 2026.
