Has anyone started their classes yet? I start on Monday. I am taking 7 classes this year - 2 advanced, 4 intermediate and one elementary. I'm only a beginner, so am sure the advanced classes will be quite spectacularly out of my depth. But hey, it's all experience innit :)

I just found my fan again the other day after not dancing with it for over a year. I've been practicing with it again. That sound it makes when it's flicked open still gets me.

Sounds interesting! I am also going to try Garrotin - for which we need Sombreros - I think it will be fun :D It's all about the props this year (castanets, Sombrero, two different fan classes.....) It'll be weird to do 'empty-handed stuff' again hehe.

The one I am learning is similar to a solea por bulerias.

Ooooh Alegrias! I haven't had the chance to study that form properly yet and I would really love to. I tried a workshop once and we 'messed about/improv'd' a bit to Alegrias. It was a lot of fun. That music and dance always makes me smile. Is Bambera similar to any other form (Rumba? Bulerias?)? I've never heard of it before and now I'm intrigued :)

New School year - new stuff to learn! What kind of palos are you studying this year? I will definitely be re-taking Caracoles (fan), Tangos and Sevillanas/Classical and castanets. Not sure about other classes yet, but there's lots of exciting stuff to choose from - Guarjira, advanced Tangos, advanced Bulerias etc. If only I were competent enough to take the higher level classes. I'm absolutely dying to attempt a more advanced Bulerias (it's one of my favorite palos). Can't wait for September!
