Description:
Puela Lunaris' program presents two campanilleros choreographies, each with a detailed step-by-step breakdown, plus performances in full costume. In this video, you will experience the first choreography that teaches the original 'pure' feminine style of dancing Flamenco: Baile Puro de Mujer. Sensual arms, exotic hand gestures, passionate turns, undulating hips and a proud torso are the characteristics of this original pure Flamenco style. There is practically no footwork: Footwork is an aspect of the dance that was originally reserved for men. You can dance this style barefoot or wearing flamenco shoes.
