Sebastian will teach two levels of workshops:
Intermediate (Bulerias de Jerez) and
Advanced (Romance/Jaleos).
Level 1 - Buleria de Jerez (Elementary/Intermediate)
In this workshop you will not only learn new fresh Buleria you will also gain an understanding of the structure, palmas beat and accompaniment of the music and dance through the rhythm. And most importantly the feeling, the "sentido" and how to dance the Buleria de Jerez will be evidenced through Sebastian's years of experience in Jerez and Jerezano family roots.
Level 2 – Romance/Jaleo (Advanced)
Romance, one of the oldest palos in flamenco originating from Jaen, with the letras sung "corrido" (without pauses). Similar to a Solea por Bulerias, with an "abandalao" style tempo, that can be applied to Jaleo, Rondeña, Fandango, Malagueñas, etc.
