Museo del Balle Flamenco

The museum takes about 40 minutes to go through and is actually a bit confusing as they have both a show going on in the background and various video images that often seem to collide so you are not sure what you are to focus on. The show was fully sold out and very good and we came away with some basic knowledge: It was originally a folk dance of the lower classes derived from a convergence of cultures: Arabic, Greek, African and Oriental. It then developed into subtypes and was popularized by the founder of the museum and movies. The wonderful Spanish guitar and the combination of highly stylized hand and limb movements interspersed with incredibly energetic "tap" dancing is highly entertaining.もっと詳しく
