I moved to Albuquerque and fell in love with dancers at your schoo!. At 67 I wanted to take classes but was intimidated. I decided to forge ahead and signed up for a beginner class. I loved every instructor! Eventually I helped April with the store and decorating for a closing celebration. I left Albuquerque with of love of your school and the dancers I saw. One year I even went with my Kids to Sevilla for Christmas and saw many shows there.
I wish Eva the best....70 is no big deal if you keep dancing!
.I now live in Tucson and turn 72 next month.
Happy Birthday Eva...and many more

My first foray into flamenco: Eva, my first teacher! I had no idea what I was dancing into. Turned into a lifelong appreciation of polka dots! ;) - and truly, a lifelong adoration of the arté, the passion, the intensity of it all. I am continually grateful and forever changed! It runs deep. I love this 5 minute video of which its contents infinitely changed my life. You’re wonderful, Eva and family - keep spreading the duende!!! I love you! Olé!
