Flamenco, more than just a Dance

Flamenco, a combination of Music, Dance & Song originated from Andalusia but has been part of Spain's tradition. Spain is definitely known for the Flamenco

Traditionally, it was performed by the gypsies. 


Flamenco has no strict choreography.

The Bailaora (female dancer) will be spontaneous in improvising the basic movements following the rhythm of the guitar and emotion.
Some of the elements of Flamenco that is important would be the Spanish guitar, hand-clapping and dancer's feet in high-heeled shoes. The graceful hand movements will express the emotion of the dancer.
