flamenco is a highly-expressive solo
dance, known for its emotional sweeping of the arms and rhythmic stomping of
the feet. While flamenco dancers (bailaors and bailaoras) invest a considerable
amount of study and practice into their art form, the dances are not
choreographed, but are improvised along the palo or rhythm. In addition to the
percussion provided by the heels of the dancers striking the floor, castanets
are sometimes held in the hands and clicked together rapidly to the rhythm of
the music.
