Enjoy expressing yourself beautifully and performing this dance style, regardless of age. There is no embarrassment involved, just a passion for the dance. First-day class sports shoes and clothing, hydration; then students can acquire the shoes, tights, and skirts. Flamenco dance (baile) might be the most famous type of Spanish dance, with roots in Indian, Arabic, and Spanish culture. It is a highly-expressive dance characterized by hand clapping, percussive footwork, and intricate hand, arm, and body movements. It is known for its sweeping arm movements and rhythmic fee stomping. The dancers' steps depend on the traditions of the song played. Perhaps the greatest joy of flamenco dancing is watching the personal expressions and emotions of the dancer, which change many times during a single performance.
