ABOUT LIFE IS MUSIC, FLAMENCO
A body singing in unison with the music it hears. The rhythm guides the movement of the dancer as she twists and turns and takes many a leap of faith. Seamlessly, our thoughts flow with her, shape shifting, cavorting, peaking, tumbling, all in the span of a moment. Yet, the eternal in us remains rooted; waiting for us to discover ourselves.
