"Her technique is refined
and her sense of rhythm is extraordinary allowing her to play with
the compás (beat) displaying a surprising agility and ease.
Her feet are a whirlwind and there are those who dare to find similarities,
in this particular aspect of her dancing, with the incomparable Carmen
Amaya."
Grimaldos, Madrid, Spain "Belén Fernández
dances with the contained anticipation of a slow-fuse firecracker,
unleashing her explosive expertise after a skilfully paced build-up
that creates an exciting atmosphere of theatrical tension." "Belén Fernández
spun through dazzling sequences of heel beats and turns, exuding a
wild and fiery passion through both her movement and her beautifully
expressive face. The distinctly feminine art of the hand movements
was used by this dancer as her extraordinary flexibility of wrist
and fingers blossomed into a true dance of the hands." "Initially immobil, Belén
then molds herself more and more to the music. The musicians no longer
watch their instruments, but only Belén's legs. Eyes obstinately
lowered, nostrils trembling, mouth hard, wrists supple, ankles strong,
at this very moment Belén commands the music. The dance is
the mistress of Flamenco." "She has everything an artist
needs to prevail: heart, rhythm, wisdom, and a love for what she does" |
