Inspiration for the week! Antonia Singla Contreras ‘La Singla’. The very definition of power, strength and presence. It seems that this incredible artist was hard of hearing! I was so refreshed by her what seems to be cantiñas or alegrias (please correct me if I’m wrong), which so often has the same structure and energy and yet here she dances in her very own way, in trousers and with her hair down! Love it! Also interesting to see that whilst she is seldom spoken of as a reference I feel the movement quality she so effortlessly possesses is what so many flamenco dancers aspire to today. I will say nothing of her feet! Just too much! The incredible Olga Llorente who one can see in the best tablaos in Spain now (still in her early 20s) feels like the next in line of these master artist/ dancers from Barcelona starting with Carmen Amaya and La Singla!Â
