Flamenco

I am having a hard time going to be on our last night in Spain. Also, I cant figure out much of the punctuation on this keyboard, thus the seeming lack of enthusiasm. I am in fact quite excited.

We decided to see a Flamenco show, we were so tired but talked ourselves into it and we loved it. It was an Opera and Flamenco, a showcase compiled to introduce tourists to the art form, but with some of the top dancers in the country. A male and female dancer traded off and did some dancing together. I didnçt know men did Flamenco. This was a particular form, zarazuela or something like that, that is very passionate and uses clapping or snapping instead of castinets. She had about 5 costume changes and in one dance the 5 foot train was an integral part of the choreography. Interspersed a tenor and soprano narrated in operatic form the tumultous love story, and the whole time musicians played. It was so impressive.

I am going to buy a dress and start dancing.
