are many types of dances in Spain but one of the main dance is the Flamenco. The flamenco dance is thought to have originated in the southern parts of Spain. At first, flamenco was not done with music, it was originally called “toque de palmas” which translates to “touch of palms.” In the dance, there is a male and a female dressed in red, flowing clothes. Another largely popular dance is the fandango, which came before the flamenco. The fandango is a very happy and energetic type of…

In this discussion, I will show what I discovered a bout Spain and how it is similar and different from the United States of America. Spain is a country in southwest Europe. It is the third counter of Europe in extension and the fifth in population. Also, it has many islands in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Atlantic Ocean. Spain has two territories in northern Africa. The United States of America is located in North America. It has many islands in the Pacific Ocean and in the Atlantic Ocean.…

particularly enjoyed Madrid. “It was like New York City, but I think it was better. It was a lot cleaner and just more fun. It was nicer there too,” he said. While the group was in Madrid, they spent one evening learning how to flamenco dance. “The flamenco dancing was probably my favorite,” said senior Rachel Yanders. “It was really personal, we were in a studio with one teacher and then we got a show afterwards.” Senior Natalie Huggins liked Seville…

Saraswathi Ranganathan, along with her ensemble of Raga Blues that consisted of guests that included origins from India, Africa and Spain- Morikeba played the African Kora, Mamadou Tama played the Senegalese Tama and finally, Carlo Basile played the Flamenco guitar. The performance started off with Morikeba singing and playing the African Kora simultaneously. The sound of the Kora really intrigued me. It resembled that of a harp where Morikeba used only his thumb and index finger of both hands…

Among acoustic guitar, and electric guitar were a significant step in advance in the history of the guitar. The guitar is a musical family of the stringed instrument. It has a flat and fitted body.

through dolls. Rather than being any kind of authentic portrayal of Spanish traditions and values, or being intended for Spanish people, El Flamenco is a commercial trap for white culture through Spanish stereotypes. The beautiful servers are “dark-eyed,” “long finger[ed]” men in the appearance of bull-fighters; the dancers perform a sexually degraded version of Flamenco; the food is an inedible and greasy hybrid of American and Spanish; and the music is American songs performed in the Spanish…

I am fascinated with Hispanic culture, and through Spanish 1, 2, and 3, I have learned about traditions and life but have yet to feel the deep understanding you form when immersed. Taking flamenco classes, exploring the historic city of Cadiz, learning in how to make paella, and visiting the Alhambra Palace in Granada create authentic learning experiences…

Clara and the prince are entertained by several dance performances including the Spanish Dance. The Spanish Dance was a solo by a girl in what could be depicted as a flamenco dress and a fan as a prop. During this piece, she never stops dancing; the choreography is very sprightly and makes her light on her feet. Just like in flamenco dancing, the choreography focused a lot on footwork. The dancer does a fair amount of frappes, battements, and pirouettes. All in all, she is supposed to be…
