Let's go back to Jose

So, the workshops of Jose Moro was only two hours. It was amazing! He's a great teacher. He said in the start that because he still doesn't know us and our levels - he still can't be sure how far he can take us. I knew few of those who took this level. It's a medium level for a rush workshops from a dancer from Spain, so it's a high level anyhow. Most of those I knew there are professional dancers. I didn't notice much more than this. I didn't really care. I knew that I'm there to breath a bit more flamenco for a start. Accept that I came for getting better. If Jose can take me far - I want him to do so. 

I didn't do all perfect. There was a point in the start which was a bit hard for me, but I made it better later on. Even then - it was more a version which more fit for me. Few times I wasn't fast enough. And I was busy to stay safe from one of the professionals who came there and almost ran over me. Near the end I got it: that farrica he was teaching us was really hard! And even with the mistakes - it wasn't too bad the way I did it. 

He danced for we'll take videos. I can't show it on the internet cause it's a part of the deal. After it's over - Jose told us that we still have what to learn, but all of us are in a high level. 

I still have the video at my camera. I can show it private for a friend... After the last class at the studio of Neta I showed it to Ilan. He asked me over and over if we really learned it in two hours. He said it includes so much material for a workshop of of at least four days. A dance of six months. Oh... Not only that! This farruca is very complicated and hard. Is it really medium level class? It looks like a higher level! 

I also showed him from the white night. The basic dance he was teaching for free - even people who never danced flamenco before. About that Ilan had only one thing to say: "this is mad!"
