When we walked in, it was completely not what I expected at first. I was expecting your typical theater, with a bunch of seats and a big stage in front. Here at the Pe\u00f1a Flamenca La Perla in C\u00e1diz, there were a bunch of tables, where you could get dinner and drinks, with friends and family, with a smaller stage up front. Walking in, I felt a sense of community right away. Once the show started, it was again not at all what I expected. (I guess I really didn&#8217;t know what to expect at all). There were 5 performers; a lead singer, a guitarist, two back up singers, and a dancer. I thought that Flamenca was a happy dance, with a lot of cheering each other on and smiling. But it was actually kind of the opposite. The lead singer looked very distraught while singing, to a point where she almost had tears down her face. The dancer was very serious as well, she never smiled and all of her movements were very strong and abrupt. I really enjoyed the show! I could tell how passionate all the performers were and how much of a tradition this type of dancing was for everyone in the audience. I am really happy I got to experience Flamenca dancing while I was in Spain.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-94 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1842.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1842.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1842-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1842-500x271.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-94\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This was the dancers first outfit.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_95\" style=\"width: 413px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-95 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1843.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"403\" height=\"747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1843.jpg 403w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2017\/05\/IMG_1843-162x300.jpg 162w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-95\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the dancers second outfit, after a 10 minute intermission.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Friday a group of us went to a Flamenca show!
