commercializationalismismingling

So,,, what did you think of my performance, oh wonderful- advanced- professionals, who have flamenco running through your veins- performed in spain everynight for years ladies ?????


......" COMMERCIALIZATION."....


um erm... Explain please???


"no, just C~OMMERCIAL~zATION....." big sigh, wont say more.... ...  ...


I have just fumbled over my feet backwards, upside down and sideways,,,,, dented the floor with enthusiasm and flung my skirt in a dignified way (or so I thought) to Timbucktuuuuu and back again.... and thats what I get???




I thought my backbend and juicy hip move followed by a fierce fancy footstamping medley was quite impressive!!... ... 


If flamenco was pulsating through my veins as intensely as some of my other endeavors then I would be highly offended by the great sighs made obvious to the rest of the universe, nervous twitches and head held dramatically in hands at each rhythm skipped and missed, ALONE,,, forgetting the prepared words exclaimed in question.


Your arms were wrong, elbows too low, forgot your steps, rhythm WAY out, posture baaaad.... now that would be far safer then saying the dreaded word.... commercialization !!..


Granted, it cant be easy when an eager beaver with no experience, a bit of potential perhaps and mad energy, invades well earned space.
But what happens when they are partly responsible for creating this FRANKENSTEIN DANCE MONSTER..   ??????????????????


As soon as I have gotten over my bruised ego, cringed silently over my garganteous rhythm and coreo blank madness and decided to embrace my wonderful commercial side ... (twitch)....
I will make the approach and hopefully get some feedback worth something a bit more then just.....
COMMERCIALIZATION ¬!!!!!!




Ultimately when someone like . Jaquin cortes's , name is uttered with disgust in some purist flamenco circles that I have encountered and as far as my daft mind, short life and no experience with the arts in any form, performance or dance, can tell.... HANG.... it might not be such a poisonous word to be called after all....
(when you have checked out the jaquin cortes link above you might have an inkling as to why on earth I would say such a thing)........ one of the few flamenco dancers that I can watch without falling into a deep hundred year sleep. ~(ouch!! Im really going to get it for that one).



OF COURSE I AM WELL AWARE THAT THE CHANCES OF ME CHOKING ON MY OWN WORDS IN THE FUTURE ARE PROBABLY QUITE HIGH....
