Taller Flamenco Seville, Day Thirteen

I’ve decided not to participate in the last two days of lessons. I’ll watch, but it time is pressing on and I need more notes and more photos. When I started taking photos in the lesson without even attempting to dance Lidia laughed and told me I had "cara". I think it means front or cheek, in the nicest possible way (at least I hope so). I've surprised myself - who would have thought I would chose work over dance!

I interviewed Eukene today. Looking at the thriving, friendly school community now, it's hard to imagine, but apparently the school's inception beginning there were lots of people that didn’t believe that Taller Flamenco would work! Students come here from all over the world but at the moment Taller is hosting visitors from England, Italy, Germany, the US, Japan, Austria and Canada. I met a lady from Singapore here as well as two New Zealanders (I interviewed one – you never know…). Eukene says that more women than men normally learn to dance and more men than women learn guitar, although I met an Israeli lady in one of the guitar lessons..

Eukene says she is happy with the school as it is. She has no intention of letting it get bigger; “I don’t want a very big school. It is important to me that everyone here is known by their face and full name and I don’t want that friendly feeling to change”
