Let's Dance: Flamenco

Picture
F 5108: Flamenco is a fiery, haughty dance practiced by those with something to say and it will be heard. The classic rhythm and emphases are integral to the structure and movement of this piece.
Using a basic flamenco rhythm, I imagine the dancer in her tiered dress and every emphasis in the beat is an excuse to strike a pose. One, two, THREE - she throws open her fan over her head- four, five, SIX - she dramatically flicks her skirts forward with her hand - seven EIGHT - she stamps her heel- nine TEN - she stamps again with more insistence- eleven, TWELVE - she turns away with an impatient flounce.
I
 have cut the blind in 12 equal sections, placing a flourish where there is an emphasis on a beat. A great link for understanding and hearing the rhythm is on this link  Compás Flamenco
