Today was the big day. The long awaited, much practiced for, Flamenco recital that Cindy was participating in. CB has been taking flamenco dance lessons since last February. she has really enjoyed classes and has made some friends in the process.
The show took place at 12 noon sunday. There were about 40 performers, including some very talented guitarists. I think they performed around 12 dances.

You may remember that I am a gigantic fan of flamenco and the guitars accompanying it. I have only seen professional performances up till now. an amateur performance was an eye opener. Addmitedly they may have lagged behind the skill level of the pros, but the determination and passion that the beginners put into their dancing made up for their lack of experience. I have never known a flamenco show that I did not like, and this was no exception. It was fantastic. the dancers were workin' it and the crowd was supportive as only Spaniards can be. I do not know who had more fun the performers or the audience. At the end of the show half the audience ended up on stage dancing with the performers.
