The flamenco style of Verdiales

We work with the abandolao rhythm, which is in 3/4 time and features songs such as verdiales, rondeñas, jabera, and jabegote, among others.

It has a very marked rhythm, easily recognizable by its accentuation, lively, and very cheerful. These dances are performed with a folkloric character, influenced by Spanish dances, while maintaining flamenco footwork and its distinctive identity.

Dancing to the abandolao rhythm allows the performer to explore many possibilities by using techniques, timing, and footwork from different disciplines of Spanish dance.
