Flamenco

While in Madrid, Peter and I caught a flamenco show. Despite knowing little about the genre or specific themes of flamenco, it exuded an undeniably compelling passion and was mesmerizing. The women dancers' skirts were absolutely beautiful and amazing to watch as their steps would crescendo into an almost firecracker-like explosion of steps. The male dancer was fascinating as well as you could clearly see all his footwork that the women's skirts obscured. The other thoughts I had during the performance was that the dancers had great physical endurance and sturdy shoes.
