I love flamenco but it can be very competitive and frankly unfriendly at times, but a lot of art is like that. I too suffer from these head trips. Really gets me down. I’m relieved that I am not the only one. This is a great reminder for me to put things in perspective and stop worrying about comparisons and focus in my art.

Confrontar al Toro Miedo y terror, por los cuernos! Flamenco es ese fuego interno que alumbra mi ser y a los que me rodean! Gracias por tu Luz!

I started using video during practice all the time and discovered the head vision did not come anywhere near my new beginner reality then started hammering myself with “What are you doing?!” I felt and still feel foolish BUT I just love to dance. You are spot on with this message….I choose to keep dancing! Vamanos!

She taught us the posture of an upright banana and had us stare at our reflection and say over and over “ yo soy “. That. Is a constant warrior cry from a flamenca,
yo soy.
Thank you for your post.

I just came back from flamenco classes feeling down because my teacher said the footwork sounded horrible. Your words of encouragement helped me to continue this art with aggressiveness.

for not doing better, for not advancing more quickly. I will remember these encouraging
words of wisdom every time I put on my shoes!
