Went for a 1 1/2 hour flamenco workshop just now (dun worry.. studied in school with Nekoweenie for about 4,5 hours before that.) at Dance Circles. It was being led by Deanna Blacher, our examiner and also the founder of the Spanish Dance Institute. This also makes her the person who wrote the syllabus that Nekoweenie and I are dancing to. (O_O)
Gosh this woman is simply fantastic! No wonder she's the founder I tell you. Goodness... I felt so embarrassed as a someone TRYING to be a flamenco student. Crap!! I only managed to somewhat understand the alegrias rhythm AFTER the class. Even now I can only do it slowly.
12-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12...
Then got variation also...

Mindboggling. Even Angel got a bit thrown off by all of us off-beat students and she was still going steady on the cajones (square box drum). Confirm add her to my list of heroes...
