Estos cabrones! ¿Que, coño, voy a hacer? - Mel Gibson speaking Spanish. Earlier, James Bond was also doing so.

Ate, had class, ate, read, slept, read, practiced, ate, watched movie.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday Mai and I have class. This week it is in the morning because Concha goes to Sevilla every night to give a class to a student who has requested private lessons there. We take turns practicing and we do palmas for each other. Mai also teaches me the choreography. Then Concha teaches me how to dance. This is the absolutely ideal way to learn to dance flamenco, including having someone to practice with.

I realised in 2007 that copying choreography the best I could was not dancing. That is when I quit taking classes, for the most part. Mai has only been dancing 3 years, but she is capable of teaching me, a day beforehand, the basic coordination I need for the different pasos. Then Concha corrects things, and teaches the real stuff.
