A Small Universe

I have been attending a contemporary dance class, here in Quepos.  It has only been the teacher and I for the past two weeks.  It is new, so maybe more people will catch on and start coming. 

The first class made me really happy :]  It felt so good to be dancing again and to hear the teacher sounding the rhythms with her voice.  In fact, it made me so happy because it felt like home.  It felt like my favorite dance teacher, Rosangela - from Brasil, was right here teaching me.  The sounds and the movements transported me to home. 

About half way through the class, I told the teacher that I was really enjoying it and that her style reminded me of my favorite dance teacher.  She asked who, and I told her it was someone from Brasil.  She then said, "I studied dance in Brasil."  It was crazy!!!! She studied dance with Rosangela!

In this small rural town in Costa Rica, I ended up in a contemporary dance class with a teacher that studied with my favorite teacher from Brazil. 

Now that is a small universe.
