Towards the future... to create from contrast, contrast between the traditional and the contemporary.
The aim is to establish a language of its own, leaving aside the academic and the systematisation of repeated motor patterns without analysis or transformation. It is danced as it was, as it was long ago, as it is now and as it will be danced. The rules are respected, broken and the fact of having broken them is criticised.
The only thing that is certain is the movement. Analogies are constructed with new technical means of image representation and motor analysis. The aim is to exalt fusion, novelty and exploration, perhaps rejected by the traditional halo of the orthodox flamenco world, doing so with freedom, avant-garde and self-criticism.
