A flamenco shoe is a type of shoe worn by flamenco dancers. They are typically worn by female dancers, they are called flamenco heel, often with traje de flamenca costumes. Male flamenco dancers traditionally wear short, heeled boots, although there are now some flamenco shoe styles available for men.

Can I wear tap shoes (or ballet slippers or ballroom dance shoes)? No. Just as you cannot wear Flamenco shoes for tap, ballet or ballroom, only Flamenco shoes can be worn for Flamenco.

I’ve often wondered, though, why flamenco dancers from Andalucia also traditionally wear polka dots. They believed that sewing small round mirrors on clothing would help avert the evil eye (round mirrored sequins remain very popular in Asian traditional costume).

Among common jaleo shouts to cheer on the singers, the guitarists or the dancers, are olé and así se canta or así se baila (“that’s the way to sing,” or “that’s the way to dance”). Done to accompany the rhythm of the music, it may constitute an integral part of the flamenco art.

Flamenco dance is called baile, while a flamenco dancer is known as a bailaor (male) or bailaora (female).

Flamenco dresses add an aesthetic element to flamenco performances. More than a traditional costume, the dresses reveal an essential component of the Spanish people’s cultural identity. Flamenco dancers typically arrange their hair in a bun, wear high heels, and put on a mantle.

YouTube can show stars such as Joaquin Cortés, currently the most famous flamenco dancer alive.
