Ole!

The other night, CEA took us to see a flamenco show. I wasn't sure what to expect because some girls had gone to a show at a different venue a few nights before, and they hadn't come back with very good reviews. But i figured, i need to see a show while i'm here, and this one was free for me. Luckily, my expectations couldn't have been more wrong! the dances were fantastic! and the dancers looked like they were just playing onstage. It was so beautiful and full of energy. Some dances told stories of love affairs with matadors, one women danced with a cola, or the long tail on the dress, and swirled it around like nobody's business. i still don't know how she didnt trip. And the men's footwork was crazy! At times they seemed to glide because their feet were moving so fast. And i never thought a dance could seem so masculine. These dancers though, the men and the women, were just incredible. They danced with such passion and fire! Many times, i caught myself leaning forward in my seat, with a smile plastered on my face, only to look around and see my friends doing the same thing.
