Flamenco articles

Flamenco is a vibrant and expressive dance form that originated in the Andalusian region of southern Spain, particularly in the cities of Seville, Cadiz, and Jerez de la Frontera. It is characterized by its passionate and emotive movements, intricate footwork, and rhythmic hand clapping, known as "palmas."

Flamenco is deeply rooted in Spanish Gypsy (Gitano), Moorish, Jewish, and Andalusian cultures, blending influences from these diverse traditions. It is a highly stylized art form that encompasses not only dance but also music (including singing and guitar playing) and poetry.
