To begin to dance flamenco
you have to be sure of what you´re doing and be patient;
it is not something that you can learn in a couple of
days, and if someone tells you that it is, s/he is trying

which, apart from the difficulty of learning the steps
and movements, there are also codes to communicate with
the guitarist and cantaor (flamenco singer), specific
characteristics for each palo (form), the feeling and
artistry that must go into it...
However, this does not mean that it should scare you
off. Quite the opposite. Its main virtue is that it
is a dance whose appeal derives from the personality
and artistry of the person performing it, whereas other
qualities such as youth, resistance or flexibility that

With a minimum aptitude, almost anyone can manage to
learn and enjoy it by studying and practicing, with
perseverance and lots of heart.
