Sandra's Flamenco Dance Performance

Flamenco’s characteristics
Flamenco combines acoustic guitar playing, singing, chanting, dancing and staccato handclapping. The flamenco dancer performs with passion, fervor, even tortured expressions but always striving for grace and dignity.

Last Sunday evening, Sandra and other members of the dance studio, performed at the Teatro Morelos in Morelia. Sandra has been taking Flamenco lessons for about 6 months at the local Danza de Espana studio.
The dance is very rigorous and demands much coordination. Besides moving and stamping of the feet and twirling the skirt, she must coordinate graceful actions with a fan, while playing the castanets (castañuelas). Needless to say, but Sandra displayed the most style and grace of any of the dancers.
To Sandra's left is her teacher, Tere, who performed this dance also.
This last photo shows the closing curtain call and other dancers (there were more but my photo only captured about half). After the performance we went out to celebrate with our new friends Lupita, Salvador, Ricardo, Alba, Hortencia and Sandras mother. All in all we sure had a good time! All of the dancers were outstanding and provided a very entertaining evening for the audience.
