One fun thing about SL is being able to pull others into the things that you do. Phin was game enough to don the traditional Spanish "
traje corto" suit of short bolero jacket and wide-rimmed hat that is worn by riders during the horse parades of the
Feria de Abril (his is a deep blue). As there aren't flamenco/sevillanas couples danceballs (that I know of), I set out paso doble ones instead...
Paso doble is based upon the movements in Spanish bullfighting, with the man acting as the matador (bullfighter) and his partner acting as his cape or the bull itself...
It is a really dramatic dance with a lot of spins and flair (a backwards kick leap and what looked like very low, almost upon his knee steps included!). We had a great time...
