I'm glad some people are catching this correctly, this is Flamenco, not Fandango. They are two very different styles of dances from two very different countries. I'm Portuguese and Fandango is done at many of our festivals and gatherings. This is a beautiful dance, but not what I was looking for. For those that asked, Fandango is a dance from Portugal.

This is FANDANGOS de HUELVA de España - As I mentioned, it can be performed "aflamencada" or as a regional Spanish dance from Andalucía/southern Spain with castanets.

Our dance here is based on a traditional flamenco Fandangos de Huelva structure, and has nothing to do with any dance from Portugal, though I'd venture to guess there may be some connection, since Huelva is so close to the Portuguese border.

Please note:

I would like to correct those that believe Fandango is only from Portugal or Venezuela.

Fandango/s are the term/name used for many songs and dances throughout the Spanish speaking world, including Spain and Mexico, and many other countries.

Fandangos in Spain include: Fandangos de Huelva, which is a regional dance from the Huelva area in Andalucía. We based our Fandangos on the Fandangos de Huelva, often performed aflamencada. I wanted to clear up misconceptions.

@MojacarFlamenco Albuquerque's got deep Spanish roots (New Spain's New Mexico. Go figure) So we have a lot of Spanish culture in our lives (As well as Mexican but that's a given). Anyway we have the only repertory Flamenco company in the U.S., the National Institute for Flamenco, and every summer, the Hestival Flamenco Internacional de Albuquerque. We have world class dancers and tocaors which is great for a mostly Spanish Acosta like me. Gott alove Flamenco =)
