Spanish Dances

Spanish Dances is an introductory guide to Spanish flamenco dance. The exact origin of flamenco is unknown, although some believe it evolved from Spanish Romani culture. Its performance includes Toque (guitar), Cante (song), and Baile (dance) performed separately or together. Dance is performed as solo (either by a male or female dancer), in duet, or in ensemble.
