Who wants to learn about Flamenco with me? In my #flamencofridays Iāll be sharing exciting and intriguing stories from the world of Flamenco.
Carmen Amaya brought true Flamenco dancing to a wide audience who was utterly overwhelmed with the experience of her dancing.
In 1929, art critic Sebastian Gash wrote of her:
Suddenly a jump! And the gypsy girl danced. Indescribable. Soul. Pure Soul. Feeling made flesh. The floorboards vibrated with unprecedented brutality and incredible precision.[...] Promptly, the viewer feels subjugated, upset, dominated by the face of La Capitana, by her fierce hip movements, by the bravery of her pirouettes and the force of her broken turns.ā š·: The Spirit of Flamenco by Nicolasās ChĆ”vez, p. 54
