What I like about Flamenco dancing is that ladies of any age and any shape of figure can do it and still look wonderful.

Almost 40 years ago, l and friends l was travelling with, were at a disco in, l think, Andalusia and the DJ put on a flamenco record. Every single person on the floor (apart from us) instantly stamped their foot and put their arms in the air. Although there were some families and some children most of the people were in their 20s, like us, and we thought they were having a laugh but, every single person danced flamenco until the song ended. It was the most amazing sight and l've never forgotten it.

anybody who thinks this is poorly done has no idea what they're talking about. Flamenco is HARD. You are learning multitasking in the extreme, all while keeping rhythm and playing an instrument (with your feet). Unless you are a dancer you should probably shut your mouth and walk a mile in their shoes (literally) before you even think about commenting on this beautiful dancing.

yes, anyone who really knows Flamenco and been around the culture knows there is not really a right or wrong way to dance Flamenco, the most important aspect of the dance and music is feeling the compas (rhtthm) and expressing your own unique style. Some are more expressive, or more emotional than others at the time, just depends on how they are feeling that night. The dance is about expressing emotions while you mark the time in the music.

Did anyone notice that asian lady was blown out of her mind.

Lived in Andalucia for a few years in the early 2000’s. Never forgot how beautiful it was there. The people, culture, dancing, food, sherry and landscape. Just gorgeous.

I've seen dancers from around the world dance flamenco but no dancer can innately evoke the artistry, attitude, spirit, fire and passion of the dance like the Spanish 🇪🇸 💃

Read a few of these comments - I'm amazed at how many people make comments when they clearly know nothing about this traditional art form. Caterwauling? Go research the technicalities of flamenco cante - they sing in differently keyed tones to regular western singing. The person who states that after one class they did better is truly a genius and I'm wondering on which international stage we should be seeing them. The "flamenco for tourist" quote. - yes, and what if it is for tourists ? How else will people discover and share this?

The language spoken here is passion! Passion is in the dance, the music, the culture, and the performance! Bravo!

In flamenco there is so much to pay attention to. The feet making such beautiful sounds, the hands grasping at the hem of the dress or swirling them like doves ready to fly, the twists and turns of the body that would put some contortionist to shame and the expressions of the face. And the cantores and guitarists. Pure art.

Joy and tragedy, stillness and motion, grace and earthiness. Sensual and independent. There is no dance in the world that is so complex and beautiful between emotion and the body, as the dance that descends from Spanish tradition.

Years ago I made a very deep friendship with a flamenco dancer who introduced this art into Japan. This was in Okinawa at the time. His name was Jose Miguel Aparifio...and he became quite famous in Japan for a time after that first stint of performances at a small club in Okinawa. Wonderful nights spent with Jose, his guitarist , and lovely lady. He was a magician! Performing twirls and leaps that seemed to defy gravity. And he was as regal and dignified offstage as he was while performing.....a real Gypsy King!

She said 💃🏻

I'm sitting here about to jump out of my chair..this is managing my soul with the rythm,I want to get up and flamenco! And I'm 60! I love it so much! SO beautiful and makes women even more passionate and beautiful!

Don't knock these performers, They are good at what they are doing and more importantly, they are enjoying it. That's what it is all about. Flamenco is not at all easy, likewise playing the music.

I can't think of a nicer way to spend an evening, music and dance to stir the soul, Thank you Spain Gracias!!

In 1972 my roommate & I went to see ANTONIO GEDDES FLAMENCO 💃 DANCERS 👑. We were blown away by this incredible ANCIENT ART FORM. When I realized that was the best in Spain I realized I had witnessed GREATNESS INDEED my friends. I'm 3rd generation American from Western Europe Spain,France,Portugal & British Isles. Flamenco is so PRIMAL and true to the music, TY for posting Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral. 👱👴🌏🌎🌍🎸🎼🎵 MUSIC WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

So proud my cultural ancestry is from Spain 💜

I love flamenco. The ladies add their flair, but that’s icing on the cake.

Every time I see Spanish dances, it makes me sad for my lack of culture. This is so beautiful and spirited-- the music, the movement, the skill and expression

these people have so much passion, and do you see how much energy they put into this.

Flamenco is an art,it was a pleasure watching.

Le Flamenco ! C’est La danse la plus fière, la plus émotionnelle, celle qui dégage le plus de panache. Oui, j’aime le flamenco, les corps et les pas sont enivrants, ils perpétuent la force et le courage du peuple espagnol. Bravo à ces fantastiques danseurs. Viva España !

That is the Soul of Mother Spain from the Andalucia region in the south. Vale !

I studied this for a year and it was sooo sooo sooo difficult, can’t begin to describe how challenging - the teacher, trying to be kind, said « you know it’s interesting, it’s almost like you are doing a jazz interpretation of the dance - always a quarter note or so behind the beat » 😂😂😂 most flamenco dancers from Spain start extremely early like 3 years old and you understand why... tough to learn when it’s not in your blood! Also I have bad rhythm 😂. Also RIP to your knees.

I've been learning flamenco (farruca) for 7 months now, and i still get amazed like the lady at 4:10 (lol) when i watch them dancers doing what they do.. But i can assure you that flamenco is a hard one. First you need to put a piece of your soul in it..

The asian lady with the open mouth, in amazement, is completely relatable

Absolutely stunning steps by these 3 ladies and 1 man ... credits to the singer and musicians as well!!!

This was so incredibly beautiful to watch. It gave me a greater appreciation of the culture of Spain and the art of Flamenco dancing.

I am from New Mexico and grew up with this culture and music. I love to listen to it in the winter. It reminds me of home and all of our beautiful people and land.

vor mehr als 50 Jahren, mein Mann war noch Student und unser Budget war äußerst knapp, konnten wir uns eine einmal im Jahr Tickets für solch eine traditionelle Flamenco Show leisten. Die Gruppe kam jedes Jahr auf ihrer Tour nach Wien und hatte ihren Auftritt in einem großen Konzertsaal. Der Erfolg ihrer Darbietung war dermaßen überwältigend, dass das Publikum vor Begeisterung tobte und die Künstler, dadurch befeuert, ihre Darbietungen nicht beenden wollten.Es kam dann immer soweit, dass man begann das Licht im Saal immer mehr zu verdunkeln, so dass das Publikum zum verlassen gezwungen wurde. Die Kostüme waren damals noch sehr einfach, ohne Flitter und Sonstigem, aber der Enthusiasmus der Künstler war absolut authentisch. Eine lebenslange Erinnerung!!! :-)

No wonder why latin people are so passionate. They inherited the love from the mother land. Arriba España

Yo no creo que exista música más verdad y apasionada que el flamenco...... Que me lo diga alguien......!!!PURA VIDA!!!

Hay mucho arte y pasión en mi país, me emociona ver que gusta tanto en el extranjero. Gracias

The dance reminds me of a bull fight ,a lovers spat, pure passion.

This is the reason why i go to Spain every year for a few months.

Just saw them 3 days ago. Still so amazing and emotional

I've seen these people in Madrid! Absolutely fantastic skilled dancers. I enjoyed every moment!

Amazing performance. love the powerful dance, the guitar guy, the singer. everything is full of passion.

I have enjoyed listening to Flamenco music since 1970. And I love this music a lot. My parent came from Spanish background.

Bravo to these Flamenco dancers!👍🏾👏🏾💃🏾💪🏾❤️🤗. One must have an extremely flexible and strong body! This dance is not for fainted heart!😱. I love it! In fact I am looking for a Spanish club in Houston that features Flamenco music and dance. Thanks for uploading ❤️👍🏾

¡FLAMENCO es una historia con muchas historias y episodios! Es una danza de energía, amor, tristeza, pasión ... ¡las palabras complementan la danza y la guitarra le da un placer y ritmo especial al Flamenco!

As I slept on my couch... I awoke to find 3 Flamenco dancers in my midst .... no I did not return to sleep … rather I began to live the dream.

NO ME CANSO DE VERLO, LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR "QUE VIVA ESPAÑA"

Loved it, loved it, LOVED it! Truly amazing.

Beautiful Flamenco was part of me!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊

Flamenco es duende ! If you don’t appreciate it, you haven’t got any soul... This is great , always imitated, but not equalled... I’m French but every time I try I know I’m missing something... Es en la sangre y no puiede imitât esto arte😀😎

I used to do Flamenco and its really hard to learn but its nice because its something new, I stopped doing it but i love it so much.

Wow that's a great one the first one already won me.

I love flamenco .❤️💕❤️

this is gold

I start to learn Spanish because of this. Now I can say Spanish still feel Flamenco is so amazing

Lovely !!! I love flamenco 💃🏿 viva España. Hé estado en La Carbonera.

Супер, Браво. Это нечто бесподобное, потрясающее. Понятное всем. Спасибо за видео.

Eviva Espana . From Zagreb , Croatia . Respect !

The dancing & the playing is very well done. One doesn’t know how much work it takes to perform such outstanding performance unless you have done it yourself. I have been to Japan & seen their performance also l have met a flamenco guitarist. After that I bought an album & copied the music on cassette for keepsake.

So powerful! A real treat!!!! These performers bring it from their souls-every single one of them.

WOW! Simply OLAY! Great musicality! Great watching phenomenal flamenco!

I've seen show like that in Seville, Andalusia. I wish I were there once again... The best show I've seen in my life

I don't understand any word but I just loved it😍

Bravissime e bellissime what a performance WOW, such passion and sensuality. To me flamenco is a mix of Gipsy and Arabic cultures as you can clearly find in certain areas of Spain. I really enjoy it thanks!

So Authentic. They got up there and showed out, as we say. Excellent.

People who don’t know, have no idea how damn near impossible this is to do. These are skills from God and we are blessed to witness them.

El flamenco me encanta. Love

loved these performers the guy got my heart racing!!!

For the guitarist to truly accompany the dancer and singer is much different than playing flamenco guitar alone in a concert setting.

Beautiful end Veriy Nice flamenco Espana . Respect . Bravo !

The epitome of grace, energy and beauty..... Its a God gift for them. Too good. Kudos to all the flamenco dancers👏👏👏👏👏

Flamenco Moro Beautiful performance Ankh (Life ) is what it is all about The love The beauty of the movements,such a joy

The Artistry that these Beautiful Women manifest is Monumentally Outstanding!!I ❤ it!!😌👍 Bravo!!

Though I know nothing about the culture..... I felt the freedom and the enthusiasm in their moves, whether it's​ for tourists or not it is beautiful

Did you hear the horses galloping! they are at another level. Bravo!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌

Man...this is sheer passion...excellente!

El flamenco es arte Lo mejor de toda España Lo bailan en Japón y en todo el mundo 🌎 olé olé 👏

Taking a dance class, the instructor stated- to take the floor as your space- and these dances perfectly, and skillfully did just that with beautiful expression.

Simply beautiful. Thanks for posting.

This is really good. You couldn't ask for a more Flamenco dancing than this!!!

Amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

They were all outstanding but the lady in red...she was feeling it so deeply...or, maybe I felt I could feel her saying things to me and it was so visceral she sent me somewhere. I can’t explain it.

this video is timeless... and yes, it's flamenco "for tourists" but it's so true to its nature

If this is the best you've seen then you haven't seen many.

it is one of the best !!! MAGNIFICENT !!!

Bravo, Buen rendimiento, love from India

That was fun, and great teamwork!!

este video con la cancion de subfocus 'FLAMENCO' es increible!! bravo sub!

Damn that looks hard to time. Flamenco is such a beautiful dance.

what I liked about flamenco when I used to dance is that when your in a group u work as a team, no hate between your partners 🥳

I absolutely adore flamenco!

Bravo mujeres, los músicos y el cantor.

IMHO - Flamenco is what the best Tango dancers wish they could be.

Today I stood and observed Alejandra Gudi teach an intermediate class in working with the Mantones at what is to me the new digs of the previous building at Calle Amor del Dios which has now relocated to Calle Santa Isabel 5 on the top floor of a foods market. Though climbing up the stairs passing by the smell of cheese and fried fish saddened me of the perpetual momentum for condos taking over arts buildings the hallway as soon as you enter the new place is so full of pictures and articles which was overwhelming how amazing it is to have such a place survive the decades. Alejandra had about 15 students with a very diverse look as serious flamenco dancers from all over the world are drawn to this Mecca for flamenco. Miss Gudi was meticulous with both the movements, the rhythmic pattern, the handicapping accompanying the singing, which she provides, and on top of all this arms flying with the Manton which is the dancers extended wings, her partner, her protection, her shield, her emotions, her hopes and fears. The degree of seriousness and methodical work is enormous. Indeed duende, as expounded by the eloquent Federico Garcia lecturing all over Spain and South America, must be summoned up by the dancer to allow flamenco dancing and singing and guitar to reach a level of transcendence, but what prepares and leads to that moment is repeated handwork day in day out, over and over and over until one gets it physically so that everything looks as if the dancer has just come up with it. People who had not gone through this kind of discipline should indeed "hush," and I should not be so snooty about tourists. They bother to want to see dancing and other art forms which may be lost if left to fashion and trend promoted by the cognoscenti of the moment, people of some visibility or notoriety but might have vacuous aesthetic notions. Flamenco has withstood the vicissitudes of time and fashion precisely because dancers could rely on performing for tourists at night who have bought dinners to see them. With that money they make dancing into the wee hours of the night they pay for their classes the next day and continue to allow their artistry to grow. Tourists may remember the classic songs and the traditional attire so that talented dancers learn these well before leap-hoping to the ultra-modern immediately, as so often with concert dancing.

Que grupo maravilhoso! Dançam com muito sentimento.
