We went to see the Ballet Flamenco de Madrid, which was beautiful. I sat there thinking I want that dress - no I want that dress - no all the women looked amazing in their Spanish dresses. My favourite was a woman wearing a long black skirt that sort of stuck to her body but flared as she twirled, with a white shirt and a red corset.
The male dancers were either gay or balding (disappointing) and thus on stage way too much. I sat there silently thinking get the girls back on stage so we can see the sexy dresses and imagine it's us up there! There was also a Spanish band - an older lady singing, a guy playing guitar, another guy warbling, and a guy playing on a box.
It went for an hour and a half, which was a slight stretch and almost could have done with either chopping one or two acts, or changing something else to show what Spain is like culturally or making it longer and cutting it into two halves.
Apart from that it was a great night out that gave us insight into a little piece of Spain. read more
