¿Flamingo?

"Clementina pinta muy bien. El otro dia pintó un gato tan perfecto que hasta se lamió la patita cuando ella terminó de pintarlo."
Well, that's hard to compete with and Lola sure is having a hard time living up to her big sister, Clementina!

Eventually, she discovers an old box with a pair of shoes that belong to her mother and asks about them...

Pon esos donde lo encontraste, Lola – dice Mami – Esos zapatos son para bailar, no para caminar, Lola.
¿Para bailar? ¿Bailar qué? – pregunta Lola.
Para bailar Flamenco – dice Mami.
¿Flamingo? 
Flamenco. Se baila en España.

Lola becomes inspired to learn this dance she never heard of, but without her mother or Clementina's knowledge.

Her father agrees to give her lessons, but only if she takes it seriously.

Through dedication and practice, Lola not only learns the art of Flamenco, she also performs for the first time at a party.

We should all learn a new dance!

Spanish language version also available entitled El Fandango de Lola
