Sure do ;) Thanks for that joyous reminder.

Though do forgive the students that have been taught otherwise. I recall
only too well the workshop of a peripatetic Argentine, telling the guys
where on her back to push in order to "make her do" this or that ocho.
I sat out. At the end of the lesson my girl slumped beside me and said "I
feel like a TV remote".
For next birthday, I made her a T-shirt on the back of which were printed a
symmetric array of large coloured buttons labelled "left ocho", "cross",
"boleo" etc. We both laughed as she threw it in the bin.
Shame really, since now I realise there are places where such could be sold
for good money... ;)
