I had the pleasure of jamming with guitarist RJ and dance student Cecilia. This is her home studio. The floor built by her husband Kevin. August 13, 2003 7:17pm Well done Kevin! (Some of you may remember my article on Kyoko's studio from a few years ago.)

This is the corner where you can sit and watch (sort of like a mini grandstand). August 13, 2003 8:23pm I included these pictures to inspire other dance students consider putting together their own practice space at home.

Cecilia and RJ August 13, 2003 9:40pm I always enjoy being around people with a passion for flamenco whether they are beginners or professionals. The cloudy sky mural is left-over from the time when this was the baby room.

Gerárd, who had another show elsewhere earlier, walked in the door in time to sing for the last set. (photo by Mário)
