tangos, baby, tangos

[ceteranna]

All done with the Angelita Gomez workshop, with a full (slow) tangos dance and a lot more calf and upper-thigh muscle to show for it. (Please God let me retain it-- the dance and the muscle both.) I brought her some flowers, purple and white tulips. She gave me a hug and told me in her very broken English to keep working and she hoped to see me

Querida Anna,
I feel very much the same about flamenco and about having other interests. Just this morning, after my first psychology class last night (which was great), I was feeling grateful that flamenco isn't the only thing I love, the only thing I identify with. But I don't agree that you will be limited to only copying forever. You will soon have the tools to create your own flamenco style, and through your intense love for it, make it something new. My teacher Defne is a beautiful example of this. No gypsy blood in the girl (she's from Wisconsin) but she is a definitive, innovative, and very flamenca dancer. She makes it her own. At fleeting moments I like to think I do too!

Auf wiedersehen, mein Liebchen!

Luckily for you, you have this whole other exhausting engrossing insane GermanyWhereverelse thing going on. Like right now. I have been told by Stephan's parents that it's 3:30 AM your time, that you got in safely, and that you're all tired and stuff
