Flamenco

Aside from raqs sharqi, I am also interested in flamenco. I know there are a few dancers who like to incorporate the two into a 'fusion' but I like them separately. I would like to learn flamenco some day. What a lovely passionate dance! I prefer solo dances because I don't like being touched (why I stopped salsa and ballroom lol) and because of the lack of individuality in group dances. Don't get me wrong, I do like group dances but now is not the time yet as I still have a few issues I need to resolve. So, aside from a few types of Indian dances, the only solo-performing dances I know of are flamenco and raqs sharqi, I'll delve into them. I can't seriously get into ballet anymore for obvious reasons, nor tap. The only other one would be hip hop but I'm not interested in it.

I loved the teamwork of group dances and the fact that rehearsals were always fun so I'd go back to that soon once I'm back in school. But anyway, here's a video that got me hooked.
