Who can give me a detailed introduction to flamenco dance originated in Andalusia, Spain?

Flamenco is the most popular form of Spanish dance, and Spaniards are also known for their ability to sing and dance. Flamenco is one of the two national treasures of Spain, along with bullfighting. Flamenco is a set of song, dance, guitar performance as one of the special art forms, flamenco is the Spanish territory of the Andalusian region Gypsies (also known as Flamenco people) music and dance. From the Gypsy, Antalusia, Arabia and the Spanish Jewish folk songs and dances, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Gypsy wanderers to the East of India tap dance style, the Arabian mysterious sentimental flavor fusion in their own spirited and unrestrained songs and dances brought to Spain. From the nineteenth century onwards, gypsies began to dance in cafes and made a career out of it. Thus, the word flamenco was first used to refer to their music and dance at that time.

Flamenco dance is passionate, spirited, beautiful, robust, and graphically embodies the national temperament of the Spanish people. It is also an important source of art for Salsuela. This dance is the best carrier to express the love and hate of the gypsy girl. This dance has three major elements: accompaniment, accompaniment and dance, the performance of the theme of God, women, love and other content, dance flamenco dance action is to focus on all parts of the body between the full coordination of the action, or foot strike, or twisting the fingers to make a loud sound, or holding a ringing board knocking and dance; each dance sentence in the beginning and end and end of the action of the feeling and demeanor, as well as to make the smooth breathing throughout the whole time, the correct use of arms is the flamenco dance. The correct use of the arms is the more difficult part of flamenco dance, it takes years of training to be able to really hit the ground as quickly as the heel while maintaining the arms and upper body relaxation, it is the perfect unity of technology and art.

Flamenco dance originated from the common class, in the dancer's hands and feet to express the most unreserved emotions of human nature. The performance must be accompanied by a guitar and a special person on the sidelines to accompany the singing. Improvised dances are also performed. The male dancers wear tight black pants, long-sleeved shirts, and sometimes a flower-adorned vest, while the female dancers wear their hair back in smooth buns, gaudy costumes, tight corsets, and skirts with multiple layers of trim.

The flamenco dance begins slowly, with the male and female partners dancing with their heads and arms in a variety of beautiful and arrogant poses. Gradually, the dance speeds up, the musicians with skillful fingering plucked out a rapid and varied rhythms, the momentum of the storm, closely tracking the accelerated dance, suddenly, the guitarist in the guitar to play the last sound, the dancers show beautiful shape, everything is stopped, the audience is often for the sudden end of the surprise, and then they can not help but cheer and applaud.

The essence of flamenco is its song, also known as "cante Hondo", often accompanied by guitar music, which is folk music from Andalusia.

Contemporary flamenco is also undergoing some changes. It faces the same dilemma that many ancient Chinese art forms face: tradition is being lost bit by bit without even realizing it.

The art of flamenco, known for its passion and exuberance, is one of the brightest shades of red on the world art stage. Over the decades, flamenco artists have traveled around the world to perform, igniting the flame of flamenco dance around the world. This flame has enduringly tugged at people's heartstrings, making it unforgettable.

Flamenco, Spain, Gypsy, Moor... I can't tell you what kind of shocking sensation the confluence of imagery produced by these words gives me, or even, I don't know their real inner connection, only that one odor that comes whistling out of the air and takes me to a distant and suffering place.

Flamenco is much more than the name of a dance, and flamenco is much more than the meaning that a dance can convey.

You see the arrogance and rejection of the woman in black, you see the anger and tearing of the woman in red;

You see the knife-like grim face, you see the rain-like gesture of excitement;

You see the silence of the bowed head, you see the cyclone of indignation...

There is no harmony of elegance, no charm to please. There is no harmony of elegance, no pleasing charm, from the beginning to the end I only feel a huge tension in the burst, I think, only people full of anger, or a strong inner spirit of people will be so angry. It twisted, not in the soft, gentle waves of a ballet, but twisted like wire, struggling like an angry snake.

Flamenco, roughly divided into three parts, just generation (cante), toque (toque), baile (baile), that is, song, piano, dance. Just generation I have not heard, only read the text describing it, and flamenco dance with the same "no grace, more mellow", the same "heartbreaking", the same "wild current wantonly, pouring and rushing down The same "wild currents, pouring and rushing down".

The flamenco is not a gypsy nation or not, because it only exists in Andalusia, but I prefer to believe that it is gypsy, such a dance, such a song, only a people who have experienced a deep disaster can have.

I have always thought that the Gypsy people are a wanton and joyful people, because of wandering, so optimistic. I remember the Gypsies have this saying: "Time is for wandering, body is for love, life is for forgetting, and the soul, is for singing.

But I don't want to, perhaps, face life, face the extension of life, this is one of their ways. And in the depths of the blood, all the suffering but depressed. The more they smile, the more they contain suffering.

Or maybe, in Spain, in Andalusia, they experienced something, and then conveyed their emotions in the art form of flamenco.

This is their heartbreaking pain on the road of wandering, the bitterness of life itself, the pain of foreign scorn, once and for all the depression, the precipitation of generation after generation, and then burst out of the pathos of the deep song, condensed into a furious dance.

The Japanese appreciate flamenco, and they read "silence" in it. I think this is not by chance. Japan is a stoic people, silent, beautiful, in the quiet, they have a huge explosive power. Samurai, geisha, cherry blossoms ... in the Western language to form a kind of shocking beauty.

Chewing the suffering, swallowed into the belly, but smiling. Like the flowers that bloom on the gloomy grave, the beauty is lonely and bleak.

When Japan appreciates flamenco dances in this way, it is understandable. They have a deep inner connection, the same smallness, the same stillness, the same rejection, the same loneliness, the same irrepressible inner strength, the same outward indifference...

Only the flamenco expression is more intense, more pathos, instantaneous outbursts, instantaneous closure. And the Japanese expression is very introspective, in a poetic, silent, aesthetic form. I think their power is accumulated in the spirit of bushido.

Perhaps, flamenco dance will eventually lift the veil of its mystery to come out, diluted suffering, is no longer so strong and cold, arrogant and determined, but lost to please, smile, words, and the world contact.
