Experience the heart and soul of flamenco in this 90-minute juerga (flamenco fiesta) style workshop, led by internationally acclaimed flamenco artist Marija Temo. This session offers a rare opportunity to dive deep into the art of Bulerías, focusing on the essential communication and interplay between musicians and dancers in an authentic fiesta setting.
Marija will guide participants through the dynamic relationship between cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dancing), and palmas (rhythmic hand clapping). You’ll explore how these elements come together to create the magic of a flamenco fiesta, with an emphasis on understanding the unspoken cues and intuitive exchanges that make Bulerías such a powerful and improvisational form.
Whether you’re a dancer looking to connect with live musicians, a guitarist seeking to accompany dancers with confidence, or simply a flamenco lover curious about the magic of a juerga, this workshop is for you. No matter your skill level, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of flamenco’s communal spirit and the tools to participate with greater fluency in any fiesta setting.
Join us for an evening of rhythm, collaboration, and passion!
Have a fun evening! Bring a Tapa to share

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.
This 7 week course will give a confident way to execute bulerias por fiesta in a live setting with any dancer, guitarist, and singer.
