HOLA! Updated 26 July 2010
Zandra en jardin .
INFO.....
* Been having problems with the Contact form... after fiddling with it for a couple of hours (everything takes a couple of hours when trying to fix anything here) I think it now works! Tested it and got the message so hopefully will get yours now too... It was formerly placed as page 2 but I've now put it as page 6 so it's a little lower down on the menu. Also the link to the Music page doesn't work on the Welcome page Menu, but it works on all the others so you can access it from any of the other pages. Sorry about these things, I'm still not a tech-wiz yet!
* School classes now finished for the summer. I'm keeping the Studio classes going though.., so you can still come and dance at Pineapple, and to study Sevillanas at Dance Works : (these are all year drop-in classes).
The Level 3 and Level 4 classes are by invitation only, so members of those classes are booked in until December. (Presentations are scheduled for 10th Sept).
Am considering starting an Intermediate class later in the year, but first have to rest the left foot which has been giving me trouble since February... it's much better now but am not going to push it yet! As people go away on holidays at this time of year I'll wait until Sept before starting any new venture.
Anything that is new will be Posted on the Classes Page..
* Have added a Synopsis of the Major Arcana to the Tarot Card Page...
* All the proposed Dates for the 2010/2011 Waes Courses are now posted on the Classes Page... The Course numbers and prices have been confirmed. You will be able to enrol in the 2010/2011 Courses from July.
* Have added a new Page called "Student's Corner" Where you can let me know what you are up to, send me photos via email zandra@flamencozone.net or just tell us news of an event that you are involved in and I will List it there.

There is a lot of study material on FlamencoZone.. Dance Notation, Videos, Songs, and Castanets.. I hope you are taking full advantage and learning new things to add to your skills. Enjoy!

There is a great family Site on the Links Page to Santa's North Pole. Here you can explore the Secret Village, Toyshop, Elves Workshop, Write a letter to Santa and read stories/play games etc. In Mrs Claus kitchen there are recipes (loads of them) that you can print out.. you don't have to wait for Christmas Day.. start eating now! All the links at the top of their home page are active... (I've checked).. and on each 24th Dec you can Track Santa's Progress with Norad, as he crosses the World delivering presents. All activities are free, and some are all year round. Have Fun!

How to Play CASTANETS.. Those of you who are interested in playing Castanets... Check out the Castanet Page There is now a Basic Lesson you can download and practise your castanet playing with.
Videos.. Have put put some Flash clips onto the video pages.. The idea is to try and get as many as we can of our dances preserved for reference .. Will change them from time to time..
These Clips have been danced mostly by the Level 4 Repertoire Class members..

LINKS..
A Fun Link.. Astrocentro is a site that gives a you free (Spanish) daily Horoscope.. To get it in English (or your Language), you have to find your little oval shaped national flag symbol.. It's located at the foot of the page, when you click on it the whole page changes to the language you have chosen
MUSIC.. The Juke Box is up and running now with 15 typical Spanish pieces.
Minimize it to the task bar and you can listen while browsing!
If you are new to this Site and have Dial-up (like me!) you may find that the music stutters.. if you can take time, let it continue, (it's loading the music) it then plays ok.
(this also happens with the Videos when you are on dial-up, they take a long time to load ).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the "Triste y Azul" link there are more lovely music tracks to keep us happy.. They update them regularly (mostly featuring famous flamenco singers).
