Formación TCC-Técnica Corporal Consciente, para el flamenco y la vida

It works the basic premises for the Conscious Body Technique: breathing, balance, strength and weight. Movement intent, direction and attention. Time. Realize. Love as explained in the book “Flamenco My Inspiration” recently reformulated in “The Book of the Secrets of
Flamenco body”.

The integration of these premises are the basis of the CBT necessary to create in your body a new habit that will transform the mechanical movement into the authentic movement you desire.

It is about PERCEIVING and not about COPYING and repeating until it comes out, with physical and mental effort. To return to the perception it is necessary to work on conscious presence, the certified tutors and India will remind you of this by providing you with the tools to return to the body: home.

The conscious body technique (CBT) is NOT a technique, because it is not about practicing a movement and repeating it systematically, training and dissociating the body from feeling in order to execute perfect movements, but to be present in them.

When only the “copy and paste” repetition technique is used, time is an important factor because the more the body is trained, the faster the form and speed will have been perfected
of the movement. When you apply CBT, on the other hand, time can be infinite and your achievements millimetric, the search is interior and each discovery opens a new movement to explore in an endless labyrinth, where haste would not let you glimpse the doors.

CBT will not give you the art, but it will reformulate the technique that you have accumulated and that has conditioned you, so that you can make the leap towards the natural expression of your dance.

CBT will be there for you when you ask yourself how do I get back to me? This is its usefulness.

The online CBT Training is a programmed and orderly learning process in which 4 objectives will be achieved step by step, over 18 months. During which the old body patterns of effort will be transformed into power, expansion, lightness, spaciousness and authenticity.

These 4 objectives are:

• CBT1- To be aware of the principle of movement in every part of my body.
• CBT2 -To be aware of my axis and my balance.
• CBT3- To be aware of my strength and its use.
• CBT4- I am aware of rhythm and movement.

You will learn about the possibilities of your body and how to enhance it. It will be a creative exploration and not a repetition until training. You will enjoy the choreographic montage of any of the greats of the
teachers we have in Seville or in the whole world, because you will know how to manage. You will be able to turn your rehearsal routine into an act of creation and you will feel full confidence, increasing your esteem, because you will respect the qualities that define you, without demands or the heaviness of your judgments or mental stories.

CBT Training puts a high-powered magnifying glass on exercises that are usually taken for granted in regular face-to-face classes.

The CBT consists of 80 tutorials that deconstruct the movements that make up traditional flamenco dance into small micro-movements for viewing, understanding, perception and execution. The 80 Tutorials correspond to exercises that must be integrated progressively; they are explained from the form in search of the sensations that need to be awakened.

The student will review his or her practice by recording and sending -Control Videos- to the supervision group. The process is completed with individual supervision with India to meet the needs of each student and attendance to a minimum of 10 of the monthly online group masterclasses or subsequent recording.

The research is complemented by the submission of the written report of each tutorial and the mandatory reading of the bibliography of La India.

My experience in the online FlamenConsciente® Methodology since 2016 confirms that time and respect for personal rhythm and conscious and sustained practice is not possible in face-to-face class.

For the body to make a habit of CBT it needs time of conscious presence performing the exercises with commitment, in addition to supervising with India and the tutor for 18 months of
scheduled training.

It is not about the boredom of repeating the exercise in solitude in front of the screen, but about the very rich investigation of bodily sensations that are different each time the exercise is redone, so that frustration gives way to exploration.

A written report of your experience with each tutorial will be required. It brings sharpness of observation and attention to the objective of the exercise.

It will be complemented with the reading of:

• Flamenco My Inspiration. La India. Ed Círculo Rojo. 2015.
• My 10 commandments for Flamenco dance and life. La India. 2017.
• The book of the Secrets of the Flamenco body. La India. Ed Círculo Rojo. 2024
• Specific notes.

You will have with La India 18 sessions of individual supervision online or in person, in which we will clarify the doubts of the practice and your personal issues. One for each month of the study program.

Monthly Zoom meetings with students to share experiences and strengthen ties. Doubts about the practice will be clarified. Exercises for body and emotional exploration will be proposed.

It is the strength of the group that sustains the depth of the work and the motivation of the community to walk the CBT path.

The group is the teacher.

To receive the certificate for each objective and the final one it is necessary to attend 18 Masterclasses of which you must attend a minimum of 10 live sessions.

The remaining 8 you can watch them recorded and then submit a report. This is the time to meet with your companions on the road, to share experiences and strengthen bonds. Doubts about the practice will be clarified. Exercises for body and emotional exploration will be proposed.

It is the strength of the group that sustains the depth of the work and the motivation of the community to walk the CBT path.

The group is the teacher.

At the end of each CBT, a certificate of hours of practice and objectives passed will be issued. Accredited by “La India” as the creator of the FlamenConsciente® method.

At the end of the 18 months of CBT Training, you will obtain the four certificates that will allow you to access the Practicum for CBT Trainers in which you will learn to accompany other people as a CBT -FlamenConsciente® Trainer.
