Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Forget all about the proud men of traditional flamenco companies, their bodies pulsing, their feet exploding fierce patterns of percussive sound. Most of the stars of Spanish dance have been men, and although a few great women led their own companies in an earlier generation, they featured male soloists too. But Sara Baras brings an all-female backing group of eight dancers when she makes her London debut this week. Her show, Sensaciones, aims to recreate "the amorous atmosphere of a Spanish taverna". Luckily there are enough flamenco addicts to whom this will appeal. And there are men as well as women among the musicians who perform the music of Jesus del Rosario.
Sadler's Wells Theatre, London EC1 (0171 863 8000) 13-25 Sept at 8pm, except Sundays and Thur 23; Saturday matinees at 3pm
