Hi Susan,
What are you learning? Flamenco or... Sevillanas?
Sevillanas is fantastic and is quite easy to learn -hmmm.. yes it is! Your timing is good. I noticed that you live on the Costa del Sol, so if your quick you've got Marbella fair to look forward to, followed by the other main ones: Estepona, Los Boliches, Malaga, Torremolinos, Fuengirola (the best!) and San Pedro.
Are they teaching you the Spanish secret? lift your hand to the tree, take the apple, bring it down to your mouth and though it away? It is a very sensual dance!
