Writing/Essay/Journal
Susana di Palma choreographs innovative pieces that marry her American spirit with the flamenco traditions of Spain. Write about a tradition in your culture that has a lot of meaning for you. What traditions from other cultures also appeal to you? Is there a way you can combine both of them?
