I think that too often people don't ask questions in case they look stupid, and then all sorts of misunderstandings occur (I can think of many times that happened to me!). In fact there's been such positive feedback that I'm wondering about providing a more detailed on-line resource (maybe a series of podcasts). Any thoughts, anyone?

I loved that session when you came to the class and it gave me the confidence to take my guitar along to my flamenco dance class party the very next day, and play as much as I could remember of the Solea! Yeah, I made mistakes, but I frowned and tried to look flamenco-ey and soulful to cover them up, (not sure it worked), but I also kept the compas going, somehow. Wouldn't have had the bottle to do that without such a clearly explained, memorable and inspiring session on the Sunday. THANK YOU! Un gran abrazo, Catherine :-) Thanks for these notes, which are thoughtfully written and funny – great combo!

I was also at this and it's interesting to read your comments as I've come to the guitar playing as a dancer - trying to understand the form a little better. Generally good tips about working with people - and we've all had difficult situations!!! Thanks v/much. Really good sess.

And having been one of the people on the course who played with you, I have to say that it really helped my confidence and made me feel that maybe I will be able to actually accompany a dancer in the not too distant future - thanks! Yes, really useful!

I really like the jokes too - always think humour helps learning! Thanks for these tips which really help to de-mystify how guitarist and dancer work together.
