The traditional flamenco dance is one of colour and passion. Images of the gypsy styled Spanish seductress performing her art, adorned in her dazzling red and black dress is one which conjures up many wonderful memories. The actual flamenco dance itself had changed somewhat since it’s original inception, today’s performances are more geared towards commercialism and tourism as opposed to traditional values. nevertheless, the spectacle of witnessing these wonderful dancers perform on stage and in the quaint Andalucian tavernas is a sight to behold indeed.
The flamenco dancer’s shoes are the most basic and required part of the outfit. A dancer can train in any knee-length skirt and the accessories can be added later, however the shoes are a necessity. Tight-fitting shoes with a reliable strap and strong heel protect a dancer’s feet from damage as she stomps and they are also used as percussion to the music as well.
The flamenco costume is completely unique to the dance and if you have ever seen the dance then you will have noticed the way in which the bailaora uses it to her best advantage, improvising her routine to the music. A flamenco dancer’s act is one of the few dances to remain mostly an improvised, un-choreographed routine yet still manages to be one of the most captivating dances there is. Watch next time how a flamenco dancer uses her arms to move the costume in time to the rythm of the music providing a truly breathtaking spectacle. The mens flamenco outfits display similar characteristics which add to a delightful show indeed.
Well now, wasn’t that a spellbinding dance routine? Did you notice how her beautiful dress flowed rythmically to the beat of the music, just how it should be done? Of course, you do not need to be able to dance flamenco to wear these wonderful authentic, Andalucian dresses. Get it, wear it and love it ladies, enjoy!
