Olé!

Flamenco is a mix of several cultures and dances. It comes from Greek, Roman, Indian, Moorish, and Jewish cultures and dances. Originally flamenco was not a dance, it was a song, chant or cry that was accompanied with rhythm (the beating of a stick on the ground for example). Interestingly in flamenco there are usually either twelve, three, or four beats, as opposed to the way we’re used to: eight beats.

Now for the fun part. Watch this video and if you want to you can learn the steps with me.
