ole!

over a very busy weekend, i took some time out to watch a friend perform at the long beach flamenco festival. it was my very first time to see flamenco dancing of any kind live, and i must admit, i was enchanted by it. 

the rythmic clapping, chanting, and strumming of the guitar held me, and the twirling, swirling, and stomping made me want to shout 'ole!'

the ladies were graceful, yet powerful and strong.
