Flamenco Dance Troupe of Andalucia

Had a great night last night watching the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucia.

I love guitar music but in some of its varieties I can only take so much.  A solo flamenco guitar concert usually runs too long for me.  However, put it together with a singer and a dancer and it becomes the most amazing show in the world!  Of course the two excellent guitarists were not the heroes last night, it was choreographer Rafaela Carrasco and her dancers.  The grace and sensuality of Ana Morales and the passion and energy of Hugo López led the troupe to a standing ovation.  I went with my sister-in-law who is an amateur dancer and she was very impressed with the level of skill shown by the dancers.  Homepage  Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía

Granada is a great place to see flamenco, there is a season at one of the local theatres which brings singers, dancers and guitarists on a regular basis, a few festivals in the summer and of course the International Music Festival in the summer which is always good for some flamenco.  All of this along with a few bars which do flamenco shows and then all of the tourist places where you can be sure of seeing something even when none of the afore-mentioned are open.
