Many Acts, But Only One Dance 

Megan Mizanty

Flamenco for small cities—in person and in demand. 

Aylin Bayaz stares fiercely into the camera as her arm whips behind her head, the large red and gold fringed fabric she holds billowing out in front of her, completely hiding her lower body . To her right, Raul Mannola sits in a black suit strumming a guitar, his eyes closed as he listens to the music.
