I bought myself an early birthday present today.

Look how beautiful all the Bata de Colas are hanging in our changing room.

I bought one today - I HAD TO MOM!!!

It will be my birthday present. Dancing with a bata de cola is one of my teacher's specialties and we do a whole technique class in them every Friday, in preparation for the dance that we're going to learn next trimester. So I HAD to buy one. I'll post a photo of me in it as soon as I get it - it's being tailored to fit me. It's black with red underneath and it was made by the best bata de cola maker in Sevilla, Esperanza Romero (I did my research).

Here's Esperanza's website: http://www.esromeroflamenco.com/

And here's a link to my teacher Luisa dancing with a bata de cola:
SHE'S SO GOOD! When I watch Luisa I realize how much I have to learn. Luckily for me she's a great teacher too.

Happy Birthday to me!
