Flamenco Dancers

Dancers and choreographers of flamenco, the Spanish art of dance, song and guitar from Andalusia, marked by heel work, arm carriage and emotional intensity. A person belongs here when the cited article calls the person a flamenco dancer. It excludes ballet and modern dance artists, who have their own groups. The art joins footwork, hand clapping, song and guitar in a tradition of the Romani and Andalusian communities of Spain, and its dancers tour the stage and screen across the world.
