PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- As a child in Bolivia, Elba Hevia y Vaca began studying classical Spanish dance at 5 years old, but it was flamenco that stole her heart. She is using the art form to empower women right here in Philadelphia.

This week, I chat with Elba Hevia y Vaca, the founder of Pasión y Arte.

"Flamenco has been the love of my life," she said. "Flamenco is an art form. It's also a way of life. I was introduced to flamenco at 13, and immediately, I said that is it."'

Friday night was the opening night of Elba Hevia y Vaca's latest performance. There's another show Saturday at the Asian Arts Initiative.
