Day 3 of the Jerez Festival: María Canea, Carmen Herrera & Pheadra
The third night of the Jerez Festival launched the Los Novismos cycle, presenting two young dancers. The first, María Canea, is hurricane on the stage. She dominates the stage with her prominent presence and strong personality. Her furious footwork and clean, quick turns define her dance, and her overpowering desplante commands respect.
Canea may require some refinement in order to add a touch of elegance to her dance, but with a very solid technique and an unmistakable charm, there is no doubt that with some more professional experience and further encounters with established flamenco dancers, she’ll mature and perfect her style.
Contrasting completely with Canea’s dance was that of the dancer from Jerez Carmen Herrera. Although her arm and hand movements exude elegance, Herrera lacks spontaneity and vigor. With fairly soft footwork and an almost non-existent energetic impulse, Herrera did not hold my interest, although the applause made evident that Jerez feels a fond affection for her.
The flamenco singer Fernando Terremoto has canceled his performance at the XIV Jerez Festival on the 27th of February at the Bodega Los Apóstoles within the ‘Café Cantante’ cycle due to illness. Attendees can return their tickets between February 10th and March 27th during the usual hours of operation at the ticket window of the Villamarta Theatre.
