We’re excited to announce an in person workshop series this summer every other Tuesday at All Saints Cathedral. Now that we have the opportunity to meet again in person we’d like to create a community building flamenco series open to all levels and all disciplines.
Dancers will have the opportunity to put their flamenco skills into practice with live music and guitarists will work on accompaniment. We’ll all be working on rhythm, palmas and deepening our flamenco knowledge. Movement sequences will be taught and practiced with cante and guitar at a level that everyone can participate in. Let’s have fun!
This December, Studio K Flamenco presents The Flamenco Nutcracker an exciting new twist on the beloved holiday classic. Celebrate the season with an unforgettable evening filled with the beauty and passion of Flamenco dance. Follow the Matador Prince as he charges into the enchanted forest filled with intoxicating rhythms, colorful costumes and clicking castanets.
Guest dancer Manuel Gutierrez dazzles with his powerful footwork and commanding stage presence. Award winning flamenco guitarist Marija Temo performs her original score live with pianist, Joseph Hauer and percussionist, Mitch Shiner. Join us for a magical holiday celebration like no other in this family friendly performance directed by internationally acclaimed choreographer Kerensa DeMars.
I am excited to inform you of the following workshop series for the month of April!
Flamenco Communication Workshop for Guitarists, Singers and Dancers
Marija Temo and Kerensa DeMars are teaming up to offer some quarantine relief, flamenco style. We will break down the steps, cante, and accompaniment for each section and talk about how the dancer, player and singer can work together most effectively. We’ll answer questions and you’ll have the opportunity to work on your own responsiveness skills. Zoom will be the platform used to give better communication options and segments of the workshop will be recorded for you to use later as practice tools.
We hope you’ll join us for this fun Saturday afternoon workshop series during the month of April. Let’s use this opportunity to deepen our flamenco knowledge and practice in new ways.

Temo Flamenco Communication Bulerias intensive
for all levels in Dance, Guitar, and Singing
with guest professional dancers, Wendy Clinard and Kerensa DeMars
Learn the application process together in the same classes
Each day we will review and add new concepts
A specialized Interactive Workshop, created by Temo, (for Dancers, Guitarists, and Singers) on what is required from each of them to effectively communicate (interact, accompany, compliment, and improvise) with one another through a breakdown on the structure of flamenco dance and song forms. Sought after for her unique ability to teach all three of the flamenco genres (dance, guitar, and singing), Temo explains (through the use of graphic charts that she has devised) the underlying structure of complete flamenco dance and song forms, demonstrates important moments that need to be conveyed, and has participants try out the process. Her workshops were 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. Temo has traveled to many cities in the US offering her Communication Workshop helping flamenco communities develop their communication skills in how to work with guitarists, singers, and dancers.
