Flamenco Souvenirs FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What is the traditional flamenco costume?<\/strong>

The typical long, ruffled dress worn by female dancers is perhaps the most identifiable symbol of this art form. But sometimes women will even wear a separate blouse and skirt, or even pants. Men typically wear a shirt under a vest, pants, and occasionally a scarf.<\/p> <\/div>

What kind of shoes do flamenco dancers wear?<\/strong>

Traditional flamenco shoes are made of leather with a strap across the top. They have a short heel and the sole is embedded with nails to produce sound as the dancer performs.<\/p> <\/div>

Do flamenco dancers use castanets?<\/strong>

Some, but not all, flamenco performances incorporate castanets. They are more commonly used in certain styles of flamenco, namely sevillanas<\/em>, fandango<\/em>, seguiriyas<\/em>, sole\u00e1<\/em>, cane<\/em>, and guajira<\/em>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
