Flamenco is a type of dance and music from Spain, more specifically, Andalusia. There are many cultures, not just nations, which have influenced flamenco throughout the centuries of its development, such as Andalusian, Sephardic, Moorish, Byzantine, and even the gypsies. While it is unclear how it started exactly, the first record of the term “flamenco” was back in the 18th century.
The flamenco dancer costume is almost as beautiful as the dance itself. One of the reasons that flamenco has become so popular, even with other cultures that are far from Latin culture, is because of the beauty of the costumes that are sure to attract the eye. What most people don’t understand about the dance makes up for the mesmerizing look of the flowing, bright skirts of the women, and the dashing and gentlemanly look of the men who are dancing it.
