Summary:
In this abstract painting named for the Spanish dance, the artist used Japanese fans as stencils for the dancer's wide skirts and slender waists. In the center of a group of female dancers, a male dancer appears in profile peforming atop a table. In the background cone shapes and red dots indicate the colorful stage lights that shine down on the dancers.
