Flamenco in Seville and Beyond
When I lived in Sevilla I often visited a small dance studio where locals gave flamenco performances a few times a month.
Flamenco is huge in Sevilla, from the high-end clubs that cater to tourists throughout the Barrio Santa Cruz to Carbonaria, a bar and flamenco venue that attracts tourists and locals alike, to the many little known bars spread throughout the city where that distinctly Andalusian dance form is simply part of life's rhythm.
This week's New Yorker discusses the form flamenco performances now take in New York.
I took the photograph below at that neighborhood venue I mentioned--it's on Castellar near Calle Feria (vaguely near the Alameda de Hercules if you're familiar with the city).

What a beautiful photo! I saw my first flamenco performance last fall, and perhaps the most captivating thing about it was the depth of emotion on the faces of the dancers. The women who gave the most impressive performances were the ones whose facial expressions changed with the mood of the music. You can see that in your photo.
I really enjoy the pictures your post from your travels!
