This lady is an amazing, elegant dancer and a great instructor. Her calm and positive demeanor is drawing and the passion for her dance comes forth. I must admit when I began the program I was only curious.
The first segment teaches the very pure and feminine form of flamenco which a woman can dance alone, even barefooted.
Seven detailed combinations; beautiful choreography, almost sultry, with heavy concentration on hand rolls, arm movement and strict posture; the important elements in posture to allow for proper movement of torso and legs. Beautiful turns and tips on the "quebrada" similar to barrel turns. This program is full of substantial information that can be incorporated beautifully into the fusions of many dances, particularly helpful in my belly dance.
The second segment teaches the dance with the shawl or as referred by Peulla, " Manton de Manila." Proper hand positioning for manipulation of the "manton,"or shawl which is a beautiful, long, fringed-silk embroidered squarefolded into a triangle. A woman wears this shawl over her shoulders and uses it as a dance prop. Nine beautiful combinations, thattake you step by step into Puella's exciting journey into basic flamenco steps to emphasize the beauty of dancing with a shawl.
As for me, my curiosity paid off. I stand before a mirror practicing with my own "Manton de Manila!" Gratzie Puella!
