Flamingo dancing in Seville

We went to Seville and had an opportunity to see a flamingo show. Seville is where flamingo dancing originated and we were going to see one of the authentic flamingo dances. The venue was small and allowed for an excellent view of the show.

The show was about two hours long and was non-stop. The music for the show was a single guitarist and two vocal singers along with stomping of feet and clapping of hands.

The music was amazing and the voice of the singers was tremendous. The raw emotion of the guitar music and the singers was captivating. The songs told the story of love and betrayal and was filled with emotions. Below are some of the stunning dance photos we took during the show.

The whole show was choreographed to the story that the songs  were telling. It was beautiful to watch and quite captivating. We truly enjoyed the show and at times the dancing gave us goosebumps from the raw emotion, music and stunning maneuvers of the dancers.

What made this performance very interesting was the fact that the whole show was by one family. They have been dancing the flamingo for over several generations. They were known for their dance and original flamingo style.

Below is a short video clip of the music with some photos of the show.
