Flamenco is expanding beyond its traditional moves. But “to those who don’t get flamenco, no amount of funky music, smart costumes and crossover choreography will overcome their suspicion that, as a form, flamenco is limited. Compared with classical ballet or South Asian dance, it doesn’t adapt well to the telling of stories or the invention of character; compared with the variety that has evolved within modern dance, it has a very restricted range. Between the stamping, the castanets, and the coiling, undulating arms, non-believers don’t accept there is much to see.”
