The dance originated out of Southern Spain and it's history is traced back to the early gypsies. The dance is also in tribute to the matedor of the bullring and his colorful cape that he uses to artfully direct the bull. The costumes are also in tribute to the gypsies and matedor, as they are extremely colorful and eye-catching in appearance.
The term "flamenco" also has a direct link to the gypsies, as it was the music that they predominantly listened to. If one visits Southern Spain today, they can still find the loud, celebratory songs that are filled with finger snapping, acoustic guitars, and castanets. All of Spain is very ritualistic in nature, Southern Spain especially so, and the flamenco dance is widely celebrated during the week of Easter. The expressive, yet mysterious, art form is paying tribute to the spirit.
After our lesson we were able to attend a show of traditional flamenco dancers. Our instructor was even one of the dancers in the show. The fast-paced show was more than entertaining and the colorful costumes were an extension of the already expressive dancing.
The culture of the flamenco dance in Spain is a perfect ending to the culture blog because it wraps everything together. It celebrates almost all noted aspects of the Spanish culture; love for friends and family, time outdoors, celebratory gatherings and meals, colorful rooms, buildings, and houses, and finally the true art form and expressive nature of dance. There are an abundance of shows that take place everyday in Spain, paying tribute to the flamenco dance. The dance burns with life, color, and romance, which all seem to shine through the native people of that country.
