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.
MONTHLY WORKSHOPS ONLINE: 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: Bulerías de Cadiz, Tangos del Titi, Tientos/Tangos Transitions and Bulerías Salidas. 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. We answer questions and students have the opportunity to work on their own responsiveness skills.
LAUNCHING FLAMENCO REVEALED MAY WORKSHOP
BULERIAS REMATES
WHEN: SATURDAY MAY 23RD
1-2:30PM CST (2-3:30p.m. EST/ 11-12:30 PT)
WHERE: ONLINE VIA ZOOM
FEE: $65
Join us Saturday May 23rd for an online workshop focused on bulerías remates. We will explore how dancers, singers and guitarists can work most effectively together to finish musical phrases in bulerías. Dancers will work on three different remates, exploring which remates work best with which letras and how to work with the singer to finish together. Singers will learn different ways of finishing bulerías letras. Guitarists will work on different styles of accompaniment for each remate.
As always 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.
Dancers who register by May 20th will receive a prep video showing the remates we’ll be using in the workshop. All participants will receive a practice video following the workshop that breaks down the material in three sections: guitar/cante/baile, guitar/baile, cante/baile.
Payments must be received by 11am CST on the day of the workshop. Please ensure the payment email address you use is the same email you wish to receive the Zoom link for the workshop. Complete your registration by visiting FLAMENCO REVEALED
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.

Gibons uses ideas that will be familiar to string players with classical training to bridge the gap between the worlds of written music and that of improv. The workshop also accommodates a wide variety of skill levels by scaling the complexity of the melodic lines and rhythmic harmony parts we use to the participants comfort. At the very minimum, students must be fluent enough on their instrument to play
scales in first position with two accidentals. There is no maximum requirement. European Gypsy music, Gypsy Jazz, Middle Eastern music, and American Songbook jazz standards are the genres used as a base for the workshop repertoire. These all share many aspects of improvisation technique. All parts are learned by ear.
