FLAMENCO REVEALED

Flamenco Revealed is a learning series brought to you by guitarist/singer Marija Temo and dancer Kerensa DeMars. Designed for flamenco dancers, guitarists and singers, FLAMENCO REVEALED includes monthly online workshops, individual coaching sessions and an educational video series.

Each month we present a new topic and work with students on the technique and communication skills related to that topic. Previous workshops have covered such topics as: Bulerías de Cadiz, Tangos del Titi, Tientos/Tangos Transitions and Bulerías Salidas and Remates.  We break down the steps, cante, and accompaniment for each topic and talk about how the dancer, player and singer can work together most effectively. In our live workshops we answer your questions, discuss how to best support each other, act out the problem spots and illustrate how to clearly communicate with your dancer, guitarist and singer.  See sample teaching video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVYF2PHYF1s

Workshop Description: Join us Saturday June 25th for an online workshop focused on JALEO! In this workshop we’ll be exploring the dynamics of rhythmic vocal accompaniment in flamenco known as ‘jaleo’. We’ll go beyond the ‘olé’ to talk about different words and phrases used in jaleo and the importance of timing, rhythm and intention when doing jaleo. We’ll also look at how rhythmic vocalizations can pair with certain movements in the dance to be supportive. We’ll explore how and when to do jaleo, when not to and how to master staying in compás while you do it. Using marking steps and remates in 12 count we’ll work with palo seco strumming patterns and palmas accompaniment while layering jaleo on top of it. Marija and Kerensa will demonstrate various timing and technique for jaleo, answer your questions and offer suggestions for practice following the workshop.

Dancers who register by Wednesday July 22nd will receive a prep video that includes the marking steps and remate we’ll use in the workshop.

All participants will receive a practice video following the workshop with the material we cover.
