Love - Devotion Feeling - Emotion Don't be afraid to be weak Don't be too proud to be strong Just look into your heart my friend That will be the return to yourself The return to innocence If you want, then start to laugh If you must, then start to cry Be yourself don't hide Just believe in destiny Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and miss the chance To return to innocence That's not the beginning of the end That's the return to yourself The return to innocence Don't care what people say Follow just your own way Follow just your own way Don't give up, don't give up To return, to return to innocence.

Hello everyone, I am sorry that I am late with this video but windows movie maker was not cooperating with me this past days. This is a little explanation what we Mexican really celebrate on May 5th The fifth of May, the celebration of a Mexican victory in the war against the French in 1862. For some reason many years ago Americans thought it was our Independence Day, (by the way Mexican Independence day is celebrated on September 16.) Cinco de Mayo widely anticipated and embraced by the gringo community as a rite of spring and an excuse to drink Margaritas in excess, Cinco de Mayo celebrations are held by Latino residents all south of California. I edited this video with video clips of Mexican Folklore dances; some of them are from the famous “Amalia Hernandez Ballet in Mexico City. At the end of the video you will see the pictures I took on Old Town, we also visited the famous Whaley House according to the Travel Channel's "Americas Most Haunted", Thomas Whaley built Whaley House in 1856. The home is a two-story Greek revival style brick building. It cost $10,000 to build which was quite a lot of money in the 1850's. The home is a very important part of San Diego history. The home was built on the site where public hangings occured. One ghost that appears is said to be "Yankee Jim". He was hanged on the gallows of the back of a wagon in 1852. In addition to being the Whaley family home, it housed a granery, the County Courthouse, San Diego's first commercial theatre, various businesses including Thomas Whaley's own general store, a ballroom, a billiard hall, school, and polling place. Downstairs in the home you will find the Courtroom, General Store, Dining Room, Study, and Parlor.

Three weeks ago my daughter called me and said, “Hello mom we have your birthday present” but it can wait wrapped in a gift box :) This is Pixie's Story. My son in law came home from work late at night, he could hear a kitten cry, he went home and kept on thinking about the kitten, when he went to bed he could still hear the kitten cries, he thought he needed to do something about it. So he went to check the origin of the cries and saw in the back yard of a house a the little kitten was stuck in a thorny bush hiding from two big dogs that were trying to get it :( he got her out of there and brought her home, the little thing was thirsty and very hungry, only God knows for how long the kitten was there. :( So the next day my daughter brought her to me and it was love at first sight and the rest is history :) Met Pixie!

These girls are my students, they are not profesional dancers. This was our first recital back in 2005

This is a family slideshow that I made for my adopted daughter Mary Cruz. She came to live with me 4 months ago. She comes from a very poor family in Mexico. I am sharing this video with you because we sometimes take things for granted. I thank God for all the blessings I get everyday. She visited San Francisco for the first time 3 weeks ago. She said something that caught my attention she said. “My eyes hurt to see so much beauty in on place, I wish my brain keep this pictures for ever” I had been in San Francisco hundreds of times, I know is beautiful but I think I was taking things for granted. We have to start looking the beauty around us; every place in the world has beautiful things to look at. Enjoy them all. I hope you can understand my message; English is my second language :) I speak Spanish. I am not in the pictures :) My daughter and her husband are the ones who took Mary Cruz for a short vacation. Have a great day! Elena

When I was an Modern Dance Choreographer in Mexico this was my last plan for a dance, for health reasons I never was able to choreograph Ying and Yang, then when I had my Dance Studio I was planning to do it but I needed to wait for my new students to get more technique and “stage time” As most of you know I closed my Dance Studio A month ago so that never happened. So I made this video well the editing from many Chinese performers I arranged it to more or less resemble what I had in mind for my students I hope you like it :) My Daughter’s are part Chinese; my late husband Tony was part Chinese so I dedicate this video to my daughters Claudia and Adriana and For the Wong Family Love you all! Elena

Bajofondo is a South American music band consisting of eight musicians from Argentina and Uruguay. Formerly called "Bajofondo Tango Club", they changed their name to only "Bajofondo" since they felt their style had broadened to "contemporary music from the Río de la Plata" as was announced on their live concert in Berlin in April 2008. Often compared to Gotan Project, their music is a fusion of acoustic tango and electronic music, part of an evolving tango genre which is known as "Electrotango" or "Tango Fusion", which is greatly helping to bring tango back into the mainstream. The band, which prefers to refer itself as a "collective of composers, singers and artists", has a characteristic style that can be considered, besides the aforementioned mixture of tango and electronica, as an innovative form of DNB, house, chill out and trip-hop. Fabian Perez was born on November 2, 1967 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a teenager, Fabian was fascinated with martial arts and fine arts. He dedicated himself to study both disciplines. Karate helped influence his character, giving him great discipline as well as opening him up to other forms of art. Much of what Fabian learned through his Eastern studies influenced his paintings. Fabian paints with his emotions and each painting reflects his drive and energy.

Ok here is the original video clips that I used on both of my Flamenco videos, "Tablado Flamenco and Amor Gitano"
