点评:What an amazing week we had at Flamenco la Fuente! My hubby and I booked this treat for ourselves because we both love flamenco and wanted to take some time to relax in a beautiful location whilst brushing up on dancing (me), and guitar (him).
I've been learning flamenco for a few years but wanted to challenge myself and focus on technique and posture. Likewise, my husband wanted to get into the nitty gritty of guitar.
We both came away thinking, wow!! We have learnt so much in just one week and had such a fabulous time with the most kind hearted and lovely teachers.
I had 2 hours of dancing every day, mostly one to one, but sometimes I joined a group too. Both experiences were valuable.
The group lessons were really fun and being more people, we could do things like dance in a 'Buleria circle'. I was a bit terrified at first as the last time I did this I had no idea what I was doing, but Paula explained exactly when to start and which beat to listen out for. She had a knack for de-complicating things and making things which were previously slightly scary and mysterious suddenly click into place.
Paula also had a knack for pushing me just to the point where I felt challenged, but not overwhelmed. She was so patient and answered a lot of questions I had on centering, weight transfer and flow. (She spoke excellent English by the way thanks to having worked in London for a few years).
I also had the privilege of dancing with Paula's mum, Cristina. Like Paula, she has a beautiful way of teaching that made me feel OK with the world and at ease.
I have returned to the UK with more confidence as a dancer and zillions of tools in my flamenco tool kit.
I would totally recommend this holiday for anyone looking for the complete package; dancing or guitar, relaxing in beautiful scenery, amazing food and wine.
I would also say not to be put off by getting here, yes it's a bit 'back of beyond', but it's easy to get here by bus from Malaga airport via Granada, you can do it in one day and it's cheap as chips on the bus and a very pleasant journey with tons of incredible scenery.

我学习弗拉门戈已经几年了,但我想挑战自己并专注于技术和姿势。同样,我丈夫也想深入了解吉他的本质。
我们俩离开时都在想,哇!!我们在短短一周内学到了很多东西,并与最善良、最可爱的老师一起度过了一段美好的时光。
我每天有两个小时的跳舞时间,大部分是一对一的,但有时我也会加入一个团体。两次经历都很有价值。
小组课程真的很有趣,而且作为更多的人,我们可以做一些事情,比如在“Buleria Circle”中跳舞。一开始我有点害怕,因为上次我这样做时,我不知道自己在做什么,但保拉准确地解释了何时开始以及要听哪个节拍。她有一种技巧,可以让事情变得简单,让之前有点可怕和神秘的事情突然变得顺理成章。
保拉还有一种技巧,能够将我推向让我感到挑战但又不至于不知所措的地步。她非常耐心,回答了我关于定心、重量转移和流动的很多问题。 (顺便说一句,由于在伦敦工作了几年,她的英语说得很好)。
我还有幸与宝拉的妈妈克里斯蒂娜一起跳舞。和保拉一样,她有一种美妙的教学方式,让我对这个世界感到满意和轻松。
作为一名舞者,我更加自信地回到了英国,我的弗拉门戈工具箱里有无数的工具。
我强烈推荐这个假期给任何寻求完整套餐的人。跳舞或弹吉他,在美丽的风景、美味的食物和美酒中放松。
我还要说的是,不要因为到达这里而被推迟,是的,这有点“遥远”,但是从马拉加机场经格拉纳达乘坐巴士很容易到达这里,你可以在一天内到达,而且价格便宜巴士和一次非常愉快的旅程,有很多令人难以置信的风景。
