I Want to Learn Flamenco - Seville is the Perfect Spot

I want to learn Flamenco and what better spot to do it than in Seville, Spain. Have you seen this dance, it is powerful, exciting, colorful and fast. While some controversy exists as to its actual origin, the name Seville comes up more often than any others. Today, Seville is thought of as the home of Flamenco, and tourist flock to see the dance every night. I want to do more. I don't just want to see the dance, although that is quite exciting, I want to dance it too. I doubt I can keep up, but I want to give it a try.

Recently I was challenged to write a bucket list - a list of the 10 things I want to do before I die. Dancing Flamenco in Seville, Spain is now on that list. So, join me for a lesson, or just follow here for a dream. And if you have never seen the grace, power and beauty of Flamenco, be sure to watch the video.

What's Stopping Me?

flamenco sevilleAside from the obvious, that I live half way around the world from Europe, there is really nothing other than budget and planning stopping me from ticking off this item. The travel logistics are easy from some of the other items on my bucket list. If I were to get to visit Marrakesh, live in Rabat or ride a camel through the Moroccan desert it would be fairly easy to cross from Tangier to Gibraltar, then travel west to Seville.

    Well I did it - I have gone and published my Bucket list.
    Followed all your instructions and blamed you directly for it. LOL
    Hope you like it.

    Bucket list huh? I guess I can make a lens about my bucket list. My list is more about things I want to do and less of the places I want to go - although there are some places I obviously do want to go see. And no I havent see the movie, Bucket list. But the way everyone is talking about it, maybe I better see it.
    Anyway this is an interesting lens, Blessed by the Western European Angel.

    I live in Ronda, just an hour and a bit away from Sevilla, and if you get the chance you DEFINITELY need to make your way to Andalucia to see the magic of the place for yourself.
  • tssfacts Jan 1, 2011 @ 9:56 am | delete
    I can see you doing this bucket list item. Be sure to have pictures of you dancing. It sounds like great home.
