Hope to see you there! I am excited about performing and offering guitar and cante technique in addition to repertoire (4 coplas of Sevillanas). On the last day we will combine the 2 classes. Looking forward to sharing!

Marija Temo accompanies, flamenco dancer, Joanne Stefanick in a performance for the The Sisterhood of Temple Rodef Shalom in Arlington, VA. Joanne was one of the first flamenco performers that hired me to work with her and her company, Danza del Rio, when I first moved to the area. It was a fun time! Take a look at some old performance photos on Joanne’s facebook. Looking forward to re-uniting with Joanne for this private event:-)
It was wonderful to reunite with La Romera, fiery gyspy style flamenco dancer. She invited me to perform with her for a presentation at The Behrend College in Erie, PA. It was a lot of fun improvising, playing, and singing for her, and just hanging out together!
