The flamenco effect: Why can't toddlers resist it?
Little Alice wants go to the Ball, but she has no dress. Dressing up as a fairy princess or ballerina is all part of the healthy development of a child. Dress-up and creative play inspires kids to be able to see themselves as a completely different person, like a queen or a firefighter or a flamenco dancer! The "traje de flamenco" is the dress traditionally worn by female flamenco dancers during their performances. The movement of its majestic ruffles is said to constitute one of the most emblematic images of modern flamenco dance. The dress dates back to the mid-18th century and comprises a skirt or dress that extends into a long train of ruffles and pleats. It’s thrown into flight through a combination of dizzying turns and sharp movements by the female dancer and is often combined with “zapateo” (foot stomping) and other traditional flamenco props, including shawls and fans. Little Alice is sure to find her perfect outfit in Jávea!
