Flamenco

Flamenco is a dance of passion, pain and longing; of the soul laid bare. To the ringing sound of guitar strings and the raw, impassioned wail of the cantaor (singer), the flamenco dancer pours emotion from their body as rhythm bursts forth from their feet - beautiful, fierce and possessed.
At the heart of flamenco is not a step or a rhythm or a song, it is a mysterious quality known as duende. A dark creative force, an expression of soul 
and of struggle, duende is flamenco's life force and the thread that links generations of performers to their Gypsy roots.
