OK, today we are going to look at something new, something very close to my heart…Flamenco! Flamenco…that comes from Spain, doesn't it? Yes, and so do I. So, today we are going to concentrate on a new dance, but first you must know all about Flamenco. I know it's a very old dance. It can be traced back for centuries, right back to the 1400s. Yes, that's right. King Ferdinand V and Queen Isabella disliked anyone who was different, so the minorities came together to help each other, and so, Flamenco was born. I read that Flamenco, in general, consists of three artistic elements: the singing, known as "cante", the dance, called "baile" and the guitar, or "guitarra". Yes, we must mix these three elements together for true Flamenco. In addition, there are often members of a Flamenco group playing "palmas" or hand-clapping. I see. So, I suppose the relationship between the artists is similar to that of Jazz – there is a basic structure that one must follow, but at its heart, it is an improvised form.
