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.
