How to dance in a Flamenco recital by Lisa

"Planta, tacon y floreos. Ole'!"

How I did it: I took lessons for almost six months.  The teacher asked who would like to be in the recital and I raised my hand.  I practiced like crazy, especially the week before.  My co-performers and I pooled our resources, and bought each other uniforms and provided rehearsal space for extra practice time.  Showed up at the theater, and took a deep breath before going on stage.

Lessons & tips: Have a wonderful teacher who can teach you in such a way where you are improving without even realizing it.

Resources: A Flamenco dance school with great teachers.
