Flamenco Dance alegrias"Gades"performed by group "Andalucia"

Close. It's derived from Indian dance. It's more obvious in more traditional choreography than in this; you can see the connection.

flamenco... kinda unusual instruments used here thou, many flamenco styles have oriental or arab resemblances

Awesome !

Y olé que guapa danza tía muy majete ver y oirles.

Flamenco is everything but relaxing! ;)

For those who want to see some "real traditional" Alegrias, there are some here on youtube. For example, if you search for "Eva La Yerbabuena Flamenco por Alegrias".

What is the with the Las Vegas style show?? LOL
Where is the passion? The zest? Or as matter of fact the "alegrias"???? Those who are so mesmerized by this performance obviously have not seen flamenco yet!

Seriously....or maybe they've just come from seeing Joaquin Crtes

Relaxing??? As a flamenco dancer one thing for sure, it is NEVER relaxing!! To start with this is NOT a "traditional alegrias" as the poser of this video says! If you feel "relaxed" that means the dancers did not communicate any passion with you! And that is what it is, a group of dancers without passion and zest!!!

I love the music and all the motions, they're deeply graceful. I want to, and I will learn flamenco one day. Awesome video it is. <3
