Flamenco Dance Couple Figure

Description:

Baile flamenco represents a dance style originating in the south of Spain, the flamenco dance with bata de cola. An art that transcends its borders and that since 2010 is Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The bata de cola is very difficult to see nowadays on stage due to the difficulty of its handling, the cost of its manufacture, and its incompatibility with some current dance styles or schools. It appeared during the second half of the 18th century in Granada, it was made of white percale and of a special length. In the first quarter of the 20th century, Pastora Imperio and Antonia Mercé imposed the use of the bata de cola in shows. The gown will continue to be used until the present day, giving the wearer the category of a true professional. In this piece, the expression and movement of the arms and hands of the dancers is as important as the way in which the woman moves the long tail of her spectacular costume. With a shiny porcelain finish, the woman's hairstyle is adorned with a red rose to match the earrings and the frills of the tail gown. Made in Spain
