Hip-Hop dance

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Hi everyone,

Simon has prepared for you a blog about his passion “Hip-hop” dance. It is very interesting!

Hello everybody!!

It’s Simon again and I know you are happy to hear from me :-P ! I would now like to tell you a bit about hip hop…

First of all, I would recommend Hip-Hop lessons to all Camino students!

Hi guys,

This time Dörte will present herself, Barcelona and Hamburg ;) ….

Both cities have almost two million inhabitants, both are the second largest city of their countries (only the capitals, Berlin and Madrid, are bigger) and both are situated in the north. Moreover, both Hamburg and Barcelona are cool and multicultural ports with all kinds of shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, theatres and other (more…)
