Flamenco dancing appears to have its origins in the latter half of the eighteenth century.

Flamenco schools sprang up around 1800 in Seville, each with its own distinctive take on the art of flamenco.

Originally the dancing was set to no music, only singing and toque de palmas, the clapping of hands. Some contempt flamenco dancing still follows this tradition, though the use of the guitar and other instruments has been introduced. A style in flamenco, known as palos, encompasses a wide range of cultural and social contexts, as well as simple rhythm stylized differences. Flamenco dancing may be of different styles depending on the intention of the dance, whether entertain, to pursue a lover or to comfort those in need.
