Flamenco Dance originated in India believe it or not. What we see today is a mix of a long trail of history as the warriors of Rajasthan fought off their would be permanent invaders into modern day Iran. As they began to roam and encounter trouble they found themselves in Egypt. While there life was not easy. Why they did not go back to Rajasthan is unknown. But some say this was the turning point in early Rroma history. These great warriors and now roaming global citizens split into two paths. Some going north toward modern day Romania, Hungary, Croatia and others heading west through North Africa (Libya, Sudan, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco...and eventually to Spain). What they developped along the way was a strong, vibrant history that gave us Flamenco as we know it today.
Looking at Kathak dance in its original form you will find the ground work for Flamenco. The touching of the skirts, flowers in one's hair and more are not all documented on the early path of the Rroma but their culture and customs have been preserved within their own societies. Great dancers such as Carmen Amaya and her family have kept this going. Movies like Latcho Drum show the blessings that Rroma (Gypsy) culture has given us...and inspire us as dancers to drop that harmful term "Gypsy" which was used in a derogatory way toward this strong group to call them as they want to be...Man, Rrom, The Rroma.
This summer Pera Dance is proud to have the wonderful and talented Javier Heredia in a Flamenco dance workshop. He accompanies Atlanta Flamenco dancer Rebecca Lutz (seen often with the renowned Aire Flamenco at Fanoos Persian Restaurant) for a spectacular afternoon of learning the essence and artistry of Flamenco. Its a cultural dance that has been passed down from generation to generation. Learn from this 3rd generation Rroma artist and dancer direct from Spain.
