Following a stunning fashion show in Seville, Spain, last summer, Dior recently released a new video inspired by the strength of Carmen Amaya, “La Capitana,” featuring flamenco powerhouse Belén López. Dedicated to highlighting key female figures from international culture, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Dior, pays tribute to Spain’s iconic trailblazer, the first Gitana to break barriers and become an international star. Amaya was famous for wearing pants and challenged gender boundaries with her powerful artistry. Chiuri said Amaya was a key inspiration for the collection, which contrasted trim equestrian suits with cascading ruffled skirts and fringed shawls, mingling references from historical paintings to dressage uniforms, and showcasing an array of Spanish craftsmanship.
Award-winning dancer and creative innovator Siudy Garrido delivers her latest masterpiece in the form of Flamenco Íntimo, her contemporary vision of Flamenco dance with original music by guitarist José Luis de La Paz, who also composed Flamenco Vivo’s latest show FRONTERAS. Siudy’s performance will also feature Evolución teacher Juan Parilla and singer Ismael Fernández who is performing at our next Peña Flamenca NYC On Stage.
Escobilla (es-co-BEE-yah) in Spanish means a small broom or brush. In the context of flamenco dance, the escobilla refers to the section of a baile dedicated to footwork. The escobilla provides the opportunity for the dancer to demonstrate their virtuosity and command of rhythm through intricate patterns of footwork. For each palo (style of flamenco song), there are traditional melodies that are played on the guitar to accompany the escobilla.
Not all moments of footwork in a flamenco dance are considered an escobilla! The term is used to describe an extended footwork section. It often (but not always) happens before the change to either tangos or bulerías. Click below to see Macarena Ramírez dancing the palo of alegrías––the escobilla starts at 6:23 and is followed by bulerías de Cádiz.
