And now, here’s another in our occasional series called “My Spot,” celebrating personal experiences with special places in California. Meet a
waitress/caregiver who takes us to the studio where she dances flamenco!
My name is Maria Howard and I live in Santa Rosa, California. And I’ve been taking dance classes at Flamenco Arts Dance Studio in downtown Santa Rosa for 15 years now.
Dance has played a very important role ever since I was five, from Chinese folk dancing through ballet through modern dance. And now that the kids are grown and gone, I have more time for myself, and I’ve rediscovered that part of me.
I’ve made many friends at the studio and it’s like my second family.
