FLAMENCO! OLE!

My second flamenco was SOO much better than the first (not that the first was bad)...but they were doing some really cool things, like this one senora twisted her body completely around BACKWARDS (kinda like the Exorcist girl), it was INSANE! Here is my recipe for getting a good flamenco dance. I think flamenco is a mixture of: stomp, the robot and riverdancing (Irish jig) when you´re really angry. It´s actually a good stress reliever, I´ve tried it! 1) Get really mad. You have to put on your mad face the WHOLE TIME! No smiling! 2) Throw your arms any which way you want and make them STIFF, except for your hands which move like snakes. 3)Now start making up your own rhythm and stomping slowly 4)Think of something that really REALLY pisses you off! (Bad grades, bad boyfriend, bad luck) 5) Stomp harder and as fast as you can moving your arms dramatically like the robot dance (except your hands) 6) Now pretend that there are flies all over you and hit your body in various places! While doing this scream: ´vale´ and ´ole´ 6) Okay stop hitting yourself before you have bruises, and start slowing down the rhythm 7) After you´re done releasing your anger, slow down the rhythm 8) Just take a deep breath, and just move your hands and realize that you´re at peace with the world 9) the END! GREAT flamenco dance! Remember the keys are INTENSE PASSION and ANGER!
