Obituary: Ana Ricarda
|
ANA RICARDA was a Spanish dancer who was not Spanish (although
there was Spanish blood on her mother's side) and whose name was not
Ana Ricarda. She had a rigorous knowledge of Spanish culture, though,
and as a dancer and choreographer she devoted her life to Spanish
dance. Her speciality was escuela bolera, a hybrid and extremely
difficult dance form, unfamiliar outside Spain, which fuses the
castanets and upper body of Spanish folk dance with the steps of
classical ballet.
