**FIN DE FIESTA
The fin de fiesta is a special moment at the end of the performance where singers, guitarists, and dancers come together and let it all hang out. Anything seems to go, but there is still structure. The lack of knowledge of what to do in a juerga is often what keeps people from taking part in the fun. Margolis will explain the different aspects of a juerga, how to sing it, dance it, and play it. He will explain the loose structure of the juerga: When can I get up to dance? What do I do first once I'm dancing? When do I do the llamada or the pataita? What kind of palmas should I play? What is appropriate to dance and what is not? Should I do footwork? (from www.cafebybloshouston.com)

!Bienvendos a Houston, Arte y Pureza!

Maria Del Espadin & Tempestad Come learn the beauty and art of Flamenco from the experts. Not only do Maria Del Espadín and her daughter, La Tempestad, have decades of teaching experience, but they have vast professional performance experience as well. Both have studied under great masters of the art and are recognized performing artists and experts in the Flamenco community today.

Regardless of the constant commercialization and modernization of Flamenco, Mama Flamenca and La Hija Flamenca (as affectionately called by their many students) strive to preserve the authenticity of Flamenco and to present Flamenco to the public as the gypsies of Andalucia intended Flamenco to be. Because of this dedication to keeping Flamenco in its truest form, Del Espadin has invited Arte y Pureza to Houston to further educate the Flamenco community.
