“We had this duo with an additional dancer and singer and they were all fantastic! The whole act was highly professional and the passion they have for their art work was beautiful to witness. Despite my slight stress of the logistics for the day, they were being super easy and professional. Unfortunately couldn't Anita herself participate this very time, but she didn't disappoint at all - quite the opposite - she delivered with another amazing dancer! I would highly recommend this flamenco group, and hopefully I get to see them another time again! Excellent!
