Una semana con Jimmy Anton in Lima...!!
Aaaahhhh - dieser Bericht ist schon wieder eine Woche ueberfaellig, und ich wollte ihn auch schon laengste geschrieben haten.... aber immer kam irgend etwas anderes dazwischen.... always too busy here with other stuff....But anyway - better late than never.... ;) Entonces - The best surprise of my time here in Peru so far happened 2 weeks ago when some of my friends here told me that Jimmy Anton was coming to Lima for 9 days...!! How cool...
For everyone who doesn't know who he is and has never heard of "Jimmy Anton's socials" before - well, I forgive all Non-Salsa-people who don't know of him..;) - he's a very well-known dancer / instructor / choreoprapher based in NYC (see also www.jimmyanton.com) and his social every 1st, 3rd (and 5th) Sunday of each month are famous, famous, famous - not only in NYC...!!
I've actually been to his socials a few times when I was living in NYC for a summer - un verano en Nueva York.... ;) (siii - como es la cancion) - but I never knew that he was from Peru originally...!! (he's been in the States for 20 years now...) But - what a great surprise...!!
So that time that he spent here in Lima form 4th - 13th March was great, great, great and always something going on.... A few times we just went over to his house here in Brena (un barrio de Lima) to hang out there and dance a little bit, then he was teaching some work-shops at Cesar's and Carlos Begazzo's academies as well...
But best of all really was the social dancing and all the parties and concerts that we went to with him during that week... at Markano, Sabor Peruano, Zipango, Timbalero, RITS en La Marina.... and then also all the birthday parties during this week.... just didn't seem to stop... ;)
Congratulations otra vez to Walter, Seiko, Cesar y Rolando...!!
Entonces - was a great time, very busy with dancing and going out.... und deshalb nicht so viel Zeit zum Schreiben und fuer blog updates....
Aaahhh - and before I forget - apart from Jimmy Anton there was also another Peruano who now lives in my home city of WIESBADEN visiting his family and friends here in Lima during that same week.... yeah, yeah - this small, small world... ;)
Nestor, was great to meet you here...!! and funny that we had to travel all the way to Lima to meet at TIMBALERO, but I'm sure I'll see you again in Wiesbaden or Frankfurt sometime later this year....;)
hhmmmm....and now I only ahve 4 weeks left here before I'm moving to Buenos Aires....
saludos y abrazos from Peru.... y hasta entonces...
