What is flamenco dance?

Flamenco dancing is one of the three integral parts of the art of flamenco. Flamenco came from Andalusia in what is now Spain, which strongly influenced the local Gypsy population, Gitanos. A large number of musical styles and dance movements of flamenco come from the Jewish tradition, as well as from Moorish culture. It is difficult to separate Cante from baile because both draw on similar traditions and work with each other. Flamenco Dancing seems to have its origin in the second half of the eighteenth century. Many Flamenco schools appeared around 1800 in Seville, each with its own significant view of the art of flamenco. Some contemporary Flamonco dance still follows this tradition, although the use of guitar and other instruments has been introduced. The musical style in flamenco, known as palos , includes a wide range of cultural and social contexts, as well as simple rhythmic and stylized differences. Flamenco dancing can have different styles depending on the plan of the dance- whether it be entertained, chasing loversor to comfort those who need it.

Flamenco dancing is an incredibly emotional dance style, while the dancer always tries to express her emotions by moving. Sharp movements and facial expressions play a larger role in Flamenco dance than in many other styles of dance, reflecting this desire to convey the deepest feelings he is experiencing. While Flamenco dances, the dancer can clap hands, kick his legs, snap Castanets (a small pocket percussion tool), or suddenly jerk their body to demonstrate the required emotions. At the same time, the loss of control is never the option in Flamenco, and this passionate display is always alleviated by maintaining the highest level of grace and accuracy of movements.

The most successful Flamenco dancers exhibit what is called duende , which means literally a fairy or goblin, indicating an amazing grasp of the emotional flow of flamenco. Flamenco dance at this level of championship is VISamal experience that attracts the audience as if they were participants.
