Description: A four week flamenco workshop series with dancers, singers, and guitarists learning structure and application together. Dancers learn aspects on how to effectively convey llamadas, mark salidas and letras, position your body that asks for a falseta, communicate your tempo and rhythmic pulses, and effectively go from the 1 to the 12 in an escobilla or subida. Guitarists learn how to accompany dancers and singers with proper strumming patterns and chords with these topics, and singers learn how to effectively and communicatively sing the letra in this interactive experience. Note: All disciplines can focus more on the interactive and application process if they have pre-learned steps, guitar, or singing material but not essential.
Marija’s Communication Course was offered for 10 years consecutively at the University of New Mexico International Flamenco Festival, at the Toronto International Flamenco Festival, and reviewed in magazines such as Flamenco USA, Flamenco International (London, England), and Dance Magazine.

What is a palo and how do I start learning flamenco?
How do I practice when I don’t have a flamenco community to work with?
How can I improve my skills when I only have recordings or method books?
How do I make the material I learn from workshops work with dancers, guitarists, and singers?
How do I get the guitarist to hit the correct chords when I sing?
How can I respond to cante without getting stuck in my choreography?
What do I change in my playing to better accompany a dancer?
