Summary: Flamenco dancing originated in the southern region of Spain in, what is believed to be, the early 1500's. Flamenco is a combination of singing, clapping, chanting, guitar playing and, of course, dancing. When the Gypsies arrived in Spain at this time they helped bring the intensity to the dance. The dancer performs with a fervent passion that is very expressive and at times can seem almost tortured while maintaining grace and dignity. It wasn't until the 1700's that flamenco came into it's own and by the end of the 1800's it achieved it's peak in popularity.
