Taller Flamenco Seville, Day One
With fantastic flamenco, open squares, tinkling fountains, stunning architecture, glorious hidden gardens, a huge variety of tapas and warm, friendly people, I take every opportunity I can to get to Seville, so I’m off again to cover Taller Flamenco's Estaciones Flamencas for Dance Today. It’s a really intensive flamenco course held just three times a year, comprised of thirty hours of dance, fifteen of Spanish, and four of Compás and Palmas (rhythms and clapping).
Monty; a fellow flamenco enthusiast who I first met about five years ago at an Escuela De Baile intensive flamenco event at the Latin Quarter in London, found me at the airport. He was on the way to Jerez for a short beginner’s course and it was good to catch up. Then, while queuing for the plane I met a couple of very interesting women and chatted to them throughout the flight. One turned out to be exactly the sort of person I write for! We got on really well and may even collaborate in the future. She gave me a lift from the airport to my hotel in Jerez and we went out for a snack and chat, which was a lovely, totally unexpected end to the day.
