styles played throughout the occasion. The dancers were shown with
enormous beauty shown in their costume and dance throughout event. The
flamenco is a folk an art and culture from Spain. It was particular to province
of Andalusia in Spain. Flamenco dance, has been the musical outlet of poor
and oppressed in there society. It is a tripartite art, involving singing, dance,
and guitar. There are different types of flamenco. For example Seguiriyas,
Alegrias, Malaguenas, Soleares, Caf Catante, fandangos, and so many
others. Flamenco dance origined go back to the 16th century.

event they performed Cape Cantante dance.

Pasion Flamenca; was one of the dances that were played by

many performers, which were ladies that maintained in the consistency
Spanish music and songs. They were giving of themselves, played
instruments uniquely and were highly qualified, professional performing
experiences. Moreover they had beautifully worn costumes in the dances
throughout the entire event. It shown me a variety of traditional and
international cultures. Most of the Choreography had younger women who
had a good shapes that gave them a possible smoothing movements.
Although there was no large movement, there was a consistency of smaller
possible movements next to one another. They gradually shown movement
of their break arms, taconeo footwork, and palmas claps. They used high
technical techniques and moved comfortable with slow movement because
there were no sudden quick step movement that I sow during the event. But,
dancers have qualities were physical and nonphysical that perceive the
dance made sense.
In my understanding those Dancers have a high level of training in
Flamenca dance. Its seemed to me that they have already worked with
complete choreographies of some basic arm movements and so many other
technical for example Tangos, Rumbas and Sevillanas for several years
experience. The group of dancer with high qualities assisted change of
direction and strongly connected to a figure performed together. There was a
comfortable change of momentum both with body and direction without
mixing up or going to different directions. Several things came together with

both men and women warns the Flamenca shoes with tiny nail heads on the
toe and heel. Also women wore a long, full skirt and a leotard that was
comfortable. There was also professional musical interpretation that engages
even those completely intimated to the styles performed with Tablado.
Moreover, there was also the passion for Latin rhythms including so many
other professional guitars. Those made the passion Flamenco dance very
grateful and so much beautiful to the audience.

Solange Gomes; was played very terrifically with exponential

many faces of flamenco. The dancer named Gomes was continuing to dance
to complex rhythms with perfect movement and she wore a dress that
formed to her skin. These individual dance was brining powerful passion to
audiences within the Grand theatre that day. She used the high techniques
and movement, good strategies, and different styles. Including her capacity,
comfortable and high energy. She was preforming proper dance that
presented her deep feelings that was accompanied with musicians.
Gomes was a powerful and passionate performer in my own feeling
that night. She used her basic knowledge and her previous experiences of
Flamenco. As I seen throughout her dance for example: she used body
movement, footwork, arms techniques and comfortable gradual changes.
She also wore flamenco dress talented and beautiful with her costume shoes
that have low heels, with a long full skirt which seemed very comfortable.
She has the proper light weight that gave her possible strong movement

backwards and frontwards. Her feet and arms accompanied with music and
turn back and direction had smooth transitions. Her attitude and flexible
movement was promoted individuals feelings and directed audience that
were attended that night.
It was a very joyful day to those who attended that occasion. The
Flamenca made me so grateful and artistic expression was professional
performed, good music, with professional guitars and singer that had passion
for Latin rhythms, diversity and unique playing styles.
