Power Flamenco (not that I think anyone else calls it that). The example I’ll give is [Rodrigo y Gabriela](http://www.amazon.com/Rodrigo-y-Gabriela-Bonus-DVD/dp/B000HKDEE2/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1209583378&sr=8-1) whom I thought to be unique, but then channel surfing one night in the hotel room I came across a concert which was much in the same vein: high-energy flamenco group with romance-novel-looking guitarist, violinist with coke-bottle glasses, bunch of other guys. Are there other such groups out there? Is this a new trend? ---

I like flamenco dancing. Is there such a thing as power flamenco dancing? And if so, could you give a link to a video of it? If it is anything like the modern twist given to bellydancing, it’s gotta be good. ---

Haven’t seen any dancing. If I do, you’ll be the first to know.
