Hi Everyone, Thought I would share the exciting news below... BTW, I just got back from Jerez a few days ago, it was utterly amazing. I took a course with El Pipa --- incredibly gracious but demanding instructor. www.antonioelpipa.com/i/home.htm

Re: Rubina Carmona to Receive Gordon Ekvall Tracie Memorial Award
Sun, March 18, 2007 - 12:01 PMsweet!
and thanks for sharing your experience in jerez. i'm glad you had a great time.
i love El Pipa! he has a unique style to his movements, while still being quite traditional. and he seemed like a nice person when he was here, though i was too shy to talk to him. :) gracious and demanding are good qualities in a teacher, so i'd love to take classes with him sometime.
