Hurrah I get to take from Fabian and Carolina

[Me]

They're coming to Louisiana next week, and I shall make a pilgrimage to take from some of the modern day nuevo gods. :notworth:

I haven't had much nuevo. I'm excited.

Anybody here taken from them before? My instructor/partner Percell studied and worked a bit with Fabian some time ago, so I'm thinking I'll probably do alright in the classes, but again, I haven't really studied nuevo...

I had a weeks worth of classes with them last year. Boleos, volcadas, colgadas, sacadas, ganchos and so forth. They use a moving embrace. Be prepared to be told not to "hold on".

You lucky girl, you. I think I hate you!

Is that Fabian Salas?

 

[Me]

Yep, Fabian Salas. ^_^ Mr. Cosmotango, lol!

Well that moving open embrace sets me at ease. That's how Percell works me. Mixes closed and open work into our dancing all the time.

Any other tips? ^_^

Just got back! These workshops were wonderful. I walked away confident in what I knew going in, but with the certainty that I still have very much to learn and happy that I have plenty of homework. Such wonderful and open and unassuming personalities, such knowledge and also great skill as teachers. I don't know how to more highly recommend these guys. Clean skill + clear, educated and methodical instruction + fun and wonderful personalities... very hard to find such a blend of merits! If you have the chance to study with these guys... DO IT!
