The Flamenco Dance
Although the dance is well known in the south of the country, let me tell you that Madrid offers one of the best and most important flamenco shows in the world.
But what is this dance about? , Flamenco is a solo dance, a combination of a percussive leg with a rhythm that involves the hand, arm and body movement. The dance is usually molded by a singer and a guitar player.
¡The emotions! are the key that making this dance a marvel of modern times.
While the traditional song is playing in the background, the dancer shows a passion expression that makes you feel the dance with him to the extent that you are bound to join the rhythm.
The Flamenco Experts
