I'm fascinated by the impassivity of the dancer. No emotion on her face. Almost like she has a mask on. Kabuki like in a way. She's so loose limbed and enviably supple. Flexing and bowing the way a tree does in a breeze, from side to side but never losing equilibrium. Always in command of her pose; never it's prisoner.
There are strong echoes of Spain too, where the dancers typically dance authoritatively and without any obvious facial emotion, indeed without any expression. Her eyebrows furthermore have an Iberian flavour, dark, thick, and arched.
Be fascinating to find out exactly where she hails from.
