Flamenco!

At the Texas State Fair, one of the things I really wanted to see was the Flamenco dancers!  Flamenco dancing is big in Spain, so it reminds me of my time there during college.  The colors are so pretty and the dancing can be very intense - very neat to watch.

Here are the dancers getting started:

There were a bunch of ladies and then one guy.  He was a great dancer.....

The big poofy red dresses were gorgeous!

Their movements were very fluid and romantic......

The guy dancer was very dramatic - I loved it!

You really couldn't get the total feel of Flamenco because the 'floor' wasn't a wood floor so their shoes didn't make as much clicking sounds as they normally would.....

Very colorful dresses, although I prefer the bright red ones......

It's all about the rhythm and the guy dancer had a lot of it.

All of the lady dancers had flowers in their hair - so pretty......

The guy didn't participate in some of the dances - he kept rhythm with the castanets in his hands.

I need to find a place that does Flamenco dancing on a regular schedule in the Dallas area - it's such a beautiful dance to watch!
