It was everything I always imagined and even more

I used to always imagine flamenco as this passionate dance that took place in darkened stages. During a recent trip to Spain I finally got the chance to visit a Tablao Flamenco. I was happy to see that it was everything I always imagined and even more.

“Estupendo show, flamenco de verdad, sin dramas ni estilos impostados, en este show los que bailan, son flamencos de verdad. El mejor bailaor masculino que he visto en años. Las chicas impresionantes. Fue tan bueno que repetí.”
