Flamenco Footwork on Demand: La Subida 

Practise-Along Video at Various Speed

The term "subida," comes from the Spanish verb "subir" (to go up). In the context of flamenco dance it refers to "pick up, accelerate" and it refers to a usually repetitive footwork sequence that brings the tempo up and leads to the end of a footwork section.

On this video you can practise a subida in 12-beat compas at various speeds along with me.  We start at 140 bmp and gradually speed it up to 260 bpm.
