Baza - flamenco

On Wednesdays, Caelli has an hour long flamenco lesson. It's not only fitness, it's a social activity as well and adds considerably to her language learning. I went along to three of her classes. I now know how to say "toes" and "stamp" in Spanish - they're the two main steps!

During my second week in Baza, Caelli's teacher, Maribel, invited us along to a flamenco performance she and her dance partner were giving for international students at one of the other secondary schools in Baza. It was a fabulous night!

Afterwards, some of the students volunteered to get up on stage and be taught some flamenco moves. Maribel had spotted Caelli in the audience and she dragged her up, too!
