Kerensa DeMars
As part of a month-long feature on Flamenco around the world, Bachtrack ran our piece on Kerensa DeMars, a dance artist who exemplifies the spirit of fusion in San Francisco, a city that, somewhat surprisingly, boasts a unique and vibrant Flamenco scene.
With a background in Butoh dance and American Tribal Style® Belly Dance, DeMars fell in love with Flamenco and moved to Spain in 1997. While immersing herself in Flamenco, she introduced American Tribal Style® there. She also co-founded the Madrid-based group Querencia, known for its unique fusion of Flamenco, North African and Middle Eastern traditions.
Since her return to the Bay Area in 2004, DeMars has taken over the artistic direction of the Flamenco Room.
