About Me

Dance teacher.. (see pics) Presently quite busy.. Live a Flamenco lifestyle..(that means.. it dominates)! Been into this since age 14.. that's quite a long time now, have no intentions of stopping.

My Interests

Mainly Flamenco. Apart from that, I like reading Tec/mystery books, playing with gadgets, and virtual pets.. They're quite fun! I can flit from one interest to another.. there is always something different to get involved with! Present interest is building my website.. (I'm not very Tech)! but if you want to take a look, the address is www.FlamencoZone.net

I'd like to meet:

Just like looking at all the different lifestyles around..

Music:

Varied.. Most styles: Flamenco, Gypsy, Latin, Blues type Jazz, Eastern.. As flamenco is a daily (rather robust) routine, I tend to go for chill-out music to relax to.. Light classics, or Easy listening.. but sometimes listen to Spanish music while browsing Internet.

Movies:

Not a lot of time to go to Movies.. but I did see the Spanish film "Volver" starring Penelope Cruz which was brilliant.. So typical of Spain...

Television:

Watch very little.. always out working when there is anything on that would interest me. I like the American CSI cop series.. (they put these programmes on later in the evening so I can sometimes catch one)! Also Agatha Christie type of mystery.. and similar.

Books:

Reading Spanish mystery paperbacks... still have 1 left to read.. (takes ages because of demands on time)..
