It’s been a week where world peace has been threatened
and the lives of innocent people have been taken.
Suffering continues…
I pray and turn away from what divides people to what unites us
in peace and love…
the cultures of art, story-telling, song, music
and dance.
I’ve decided to spend a week on Google+ posting videos
that feature spectacular men from the world of dance.
The dancers have performed on many stages around the
world. They build bridges between people and bring joy and
pleasure to their audiences.
Share a moment with them.
Lift up…
Enjoy their male beauty, strength, and athleticism.
The freedom of self-expression.
The emotionality and passion.

The first dance video stars,
Flamenco Fusion with Joaquín Cortés
Joaquín Cortés is a Spanish, classically trained ballet
dancer. He traveled the world with the prestigious Spanish National Ballet. Wanting
more creative control over his dance, he formed his own company in 1992 to fuse
flamenco, ballet and modern dance style. (from
Wikipedia)
In this video, Joaquín wows to the accompaniment of a
singer, hand-clapping, drumbeats and to the occasional strings of a guitar.
The flamenco fusion has a bare and elemental style which transports my mind to an imaginary scene where people are sitting around a camp fire at the end of the day. Singing, clapping and watching their kin dance.
Living the Gypsy Fire…
Here is Joaquín dancing the intense feelings of Flamenco.
