Marija is sought for her unique ability to teach the flamenco palos as a system utilizing all three of the flamenco elements (guitar, dance, and singing). She will unlock the underlying structure of the chosen palo, showing you the pathway to effectively communicate/interact, accompany, compliment, and improvise with one another. Bring a notebook, writing utensil and audio recording device along with your dance shoes and/or musical instrument. In addition to lecture and graphic descriptions of the structure, Marija will play guitar and sing to demonstrate key moments of transition/communication. You will be invited to play, sing or dance along to practice key principles. Contact Diana at didodi67@yahoo.com or (502) 235-3998 to register.

Dancers: Learn the structural components and order of the form, how to effectively communicate signals for the different components, and how and where to apply movements and choreography properly to the singing.

Guitarists: Learn the structural components of the form in order to anticipate the order from the dancer, and learn the common chordal and rhythmic patterns used to accompany both the singing and the dance simultaneously as well as when to apply falsetas. Guitarists are guided in playing more advanced rhythmic patterns and finding and/or creating falsetas that best accompany dance footwork.

Singers: Learn the structural components of the form in order to know when the singing is to accompany the dance. Also learn how and where to place proper accentuations within the verse and apply key pitches to guide guitarists on how to accompany the changes correctly. In addition, singers are shown how to vary the way the form is sung so as to inspire the guitarist and dancer to interpret and improvise to the singing.
