Flamenco!

   Fri, November 3, 2006 - 9:47 AM
My newest passion! I've been taking lessons for a little over a month and I love it! Flamenco's been an interest of mine for a while, but I hadn't made time for it until recently. I've been bellydancing for a long time so I knew (or over-confidently thought) that I would be familiar with some of the arm movements and postures, but I wasn't prepared for the footwork (and dancing in heels). And then, I have to do these taps and stomps with my feet and do arm and hand gestures and keep your posture looking nice, don't tilt the head and don't wiggle anything else and don't fall over and above all, don't step on your own toe! Whew! I'm so excited! Now I need to think up dance costume ideas... Do you think rubber or fur would work?

Right now, I can't use my legs, but it's coming. i'm beginning with the isolations of bellydance, but eventually hope to get into flamenco.
