going to a dance workshop

i will be attending a dance workshop this week with antonio arrebola, who i had the pleasure of seeing perform with lauren o'donnell the other week. what a fantastic show, btw. if you live in the boston area and didn't get to catch it, sorry you missed out big time.

i'm hoping this class will help give me more perspective for when i accompany dancers and i'll be able to identify desplantes and llamadas, etc.

any tips or pointers? what kind of shoes/clothing should i wear? what's the best way to hide my shame as i inevitably make a fool of myself?

Be natural... and have fun.

(To avoid following up jokes.. natural doesn´t mean naked.)

learning it the hard way, hm?

I saw Antonio in two shows in Germany. Didnt know he was internationally active. Thats pretty remarkable. I think he understands german, because he laughed when the guitarrist introduced him once on stage as a somebody who "is young, good looking and in searching for a girlfriend atm"

yeah, i thought i'd have fun too. plus, in case i find myself at a juerga, i want to be able to get my groove on.

antonio seems like he has a good sense of humour. he was sort of a goof at the show.

can't wait to learn from him. im going to stay in the back of the class so no one notices me though.
