Flamenco sevillanas markings
“We will call marcajes to the different ways of executing foot steps, accompanied by figures of arm movements (braceos). The marcajes that the Flamencoson Method has selected and designed for its Sevillanas Flamencas are easier to learn and execute than in the more classical sevillanas and, in addition, they will be useful to adapt and dance them to the rhythm of rumba flamenca and bulerias.
Also, as a mnemonic rule, to help you memorize the markings of each sung line of the Sevillanas Flamencas, Flamencoson has named the different markings with their own names and surnames. So, just like the Paseíllo (in this case Paseíllo Flamenco), which is the first marking with its own name that you learn to dance in Sevillanas, the crosses (as we have seen above) and other markings will also have their own name and surname (which is the one that nuances the braceo of the marking usually).”
Marcaje Vals Arriba (Second Sevillana Flamenca - Second Third)
“As I told you when I commented on the Cruce de Careo of the Cuarta Sevillana Flamenca, its footwork is similar to the Vals and we learn it in the Segundo Tercio of the Segunda Sevillana. The braceo goes up in this case. And we finish off this marking at the end with an arm figure, replacing the turn at the end of the marking and tercio.”
