Amaya

So much of flamenco dance and music is about attitude. It's not enough to capture choreography; the dancer must carry herself like a queen, or even a goddess: fierce, proud, open-hearted, and full of courage and grace. No excuses, no explanations. This one is dedicated to Carmen Amaya, one of the legends of flamenco dance. When she was first discovered, one critic famously  described her as "pure soul," "emotion made flesh," and "a crude product of nature."
