y mi pañuelo yo se lo eché a la cara
pa’ que no tragara tierra

Here I share a flamenco dance tutorial for a bulerías remate with contratiempo.
A remate can be done using footwork or body movements or a combination of the two.
Watch and listen to David Lagos sing today’s letra during a sound check in the video below
Soleá
Ojalá contigo fuera
pero no caen los rayos
donde la tormenta suena
Bulerías
Aguilar de Jerez
Pa caballo el cartujano, pa torero Rafael
y pa cante y vino bueno
San Pedro bajó del cielo
y dió su llave a Jerez

This week's letra made me think of an experience I had years ago which has nothing to do with flamenco. It has to do with dishonesty and fear. It started with a question, which led to a lie, which in turn led to facing a fear. The facing fear part actually helped prepare me for flamenco where I'm forced to confront my fears over and over again. To my surprise, all of the practice meeting my fears in flamenco has only made it easier to do so in life outside of the dance.
More on that in a minute, but first let's take a look at the letra and watch a video of Mercedes Ruíz, our teacher on the Flamenco Tour to Jerez, dancing caña, all in red, with bata and mantón.

I just returned home from Jerez, and naturally, I'm missing bulerías.
I have a letra to share with you today. It's one that David Lagos sang during our private show there, but before I do, I want to tell you a quick story.
It's one that Julie, a student on the Flamenco Tour, shared with me just before she departed Jerez.
On her last morning there, Julie took a final stroll around the city before she caught her train to Granada. On her way back to the apartments she found herself behind an older couple walking down the street. T
