Sara Rhodes began flamenco
dancing when she was 13.
She couldn’t get into a ballet class
at the Public Academy of Performance
Arts.
Now 20, Rhodes said flamenco
is a mix of singing, dancing and
percussion.
“For the lack of a better analogy,
flamenco is like the rings of hell
— not that it’s hell,” she said. “It’s
got these rings to it, and as you
keep descending into it, it becomes
different things, but at the same
time, is still very cohesive.”
When not studying for classes,
Rhodes teaches and assists at the
National Flamenco Institute. She
also dances with the renowned
flamenco company, Yjastros.
