Dancers marking compás with palmas

Palmas Types

Type Sound How
Sordas Warm, cushioned Hands slightly cupped
Claras Bright, crisp Flat hands, finger tip alignment
Contratiempo Off‑beat drive Alternate with main beats

Jaleo phrases: ¡Olé!, ¡Arsa!, ¡Eso es!, ¡Vamos! — supportive, never distracting.

Build a Groove (Tangos)

  • Count: 1‑and‑2‑and‑3‑and‑4‑and.
  • Clap on 2 and 4; add soft ghost claps on and.
  • Drop a jaleo on the cierre.

Bulerías Micro‑Drill

  • Feel phrases instead of strict beats.
  • Practice a short hand pattern: soft‑soft‑strong, strong‑soft.
  • Watch the dancer’s llamadas — they cue changes.

Room Etiquette

  • Keep palmas below chest to avoid blocking sightlines.
  • If unsure, listen first — join gently once you sense the compás.
  • Silence is also musical; let cante breathe.
