Sevillanas

My favorite Flamenco is actually a social dance rather than the virtuoso performance medium. Sevillanas is a folk dance from Seville, Spain, where you might find people dancing it in a bar. Youtube has it recorded. My experience is it's best to bring your own dancers to any bar, and even then it might take the three drinks that used to be obligatory for dancing to start. You could stick around (take lessons), and you might hear of where the dancers have decided to congregate. Or have a little gig. That's how I managed in Manhattan.
