Flamenco is an integrated arts in Spain, It combines dancing, singing, instrumental music in one. The art form was popular in southern Spain in the past, and it has now expanded to the vast areas of Spain and Europe, as the representation of art throughout Spain. Some people call it the art treasure of Spain. Flamenco, quiet and soft with fanaticism, unrestrains two diametrically opposite emotions together to form a unique form of expression. Singers, dancers, guitarists on stage embrace the same emotion to reach out to the audiences. Men dance powerfully with rhythm; women dance gracefully, soft and full of temptation. Performance, singing, clapping, tap dance step into the sound of castanets. The atmosphere is very warm. The most natural form of flamenco dance usually tells the story of love and hate, and through their movement and skills on the stage, audiences can fully understand the true spirit of the Spanish joyancy.
