Dance, bodies, free yourselves from your chains, and write your own epic of life. Be the beginning and the end, for you are the first language and the last. Dance, and scatter beauty upon the audience, reminding them of the pain of those whose lands were seized, who fled to music and dance to forge their own revolution, and to reclaim their glory through a language that knows no end. Dance, and strike the ground with your feet, so that flamenco remains a voice for freedoms.
