Flamenco Dancing

 



You won’t be in Seville long without being exposed to Flamenco dancing (pronounced the same as flamingo in English).  It’s a highly expressive dance usually accompanied by a singer and guitar player.  It’s performed with bold hand clapping and foot stomping.  It goes back hundreds of years and has influence from Gypsies, as well as Arabic and Spanish folklore.  Groups will perform Flamenco dances on the streets for tips. The dancers are passionate about their performances and it always draws a large, mesmerized crowd.
