Leñador -> RE: baile identification (Nov. 3 2015 4:20:54)

I'm curious what the actual working flamencos have to say but I'll share what I've kind of observed. To me, it ALL looks similar but at different counts and different tempos. Marcaje looks like marcaje, llamada looks like llamada, escobilla etc no matter the palo. Of course they have there differences but the overall motions are super similar looking to me. In fact without music I don't think I could tell you SxB from alegrias and the only other way I could tell another palo without music would be from tempo and count. I've developed weird names and associations in my head to help me identify the parts like "oh that pirate move, this is llamada" or "repetitive break dancey thing, just marcaje right now" lol Without music footwork will give it away, there are certain rhythms you tend to hear in certain palos. The only thing that looks super unique and obvious to me is fiesta bulerias stuff. My only pointer would be work with a dancer that knows what your supposed to be playing, and can say "that's not right", that helped me a good amount. That's just how I've survived but likely a real pro has a much more informed, enlightened view and insight.
