Flamenco

The last two days have been Flamenco themed.  Yesterday, we saw a Flamenco show in a cabaret, which in spite of being two hours long was really good, and held both kid's attention. Laurel seemed particularly enthralled with the dancing, music, and dress.  Today, we visited the Flamenco Museum in Sevilla, which was really well done.  They has a lot of videos showing the different styles, including some classic video footage, some costumes on display, and a good interactive exhibit showing the different styles and explaining the different components of how to properly Flamenco dance.

I've watched Laurel try to imitate some of the Flamenco hand movements while she is walking down the street, and I was inspired to try to incorporate some of the postures and hand movements into my poi spinning.
