Flamenco is a passionate and expressive dance form that combines intricate footwork, hand clapping, guitar playing, singing, and storytelling. It has deep historical and cultural roots in Spanish and Romani (Gypsy) traditions. Flamenco is not only a dance but also a distinct genre of music and song that accompanies the dance. It is often performed in traditional gatherings, festivals, and flamenco venues called "tablaos" in Spain.
