Who wants to learn about Flamenco with me? In my #flamencofridays I’ll 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.” 📷: The Spirit of Flamenco by Nicolas’s Chávez, p. 54
