The activity is part of the municipal cultural program and is aimed at all audiences.

The Estepona City Council informs that the renowned dancer and choreographer Agustin Barajas will give a free workshop on body expression “Movement is spirit: introduction to flamenco dance”. This activity is part of the cultural program of the first quarter of the Library of Contemporary Cultures and will take place on February 18 at 20:00 hours.

The workshop proposes an approach to flamenco from the body and movement as tools of expression and is open to both people with previous experience and the general public interested in discovering the language of flamenco dance.
