Forget Strictly Come Dancing, now promenading towards its sequined climax; flamenco fever is sweeping the legal profession. Bethany Burrow, a corporate associate in the London office of US firm Sidley Austin, together with some of her dance class, including Joan Vis of Tyrer Roxburgh & Co and Mac Macmillan of Lovells, are putting on a flamenco show in aid of the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity. ‘Maravaillas de Invierno’ (Winter Wonderland) is on at 5pm on 14 December at the Haverstock School in Chalk Farm, north London. Flamenco, says Burrow, is a mixture of introspection and searching inside, then expressing it outwardly: ‘It’s very personal, but also a performance art.’ If there are more of you out there with slightly greater rhythm and grace than John Sergeant, do get in touch.
