Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take any pictures during the performance, but here's one that is pretty similar.

Wow! So I went down with the school to 'el palacio de flamenco' fro a short flamenco performance and WOW was it awesome! I could literally go on for hours about how beautiful it was...not only was the dance much more creative than I thought it was going to be (lots of interesting uses of props) but it was also just so strong! I love to see women portrayed as strong characters and I find it very unusual to find both sensuality and strength in the dance because historically, women's attractiveness has been derived from their fragility and weakness. But WOW! Que fuerte! All the stomping, swishing, sweating and clapping really added up to a fantastic show! I can't wait to go again soon, because if I have another opportunity I definitely will!
