Kaloguitarist -> How Can They Dance To This (Jul. 21 2020 0:31:28)
Hi All, This isn't a flamenco palo so how are these flamenco dancers able to dance to this... Do they use Rumba or Tangos inspiration? The song is called a Boy With A Coin by Iron & Wine. Jason McGuire's wife Yaelisa and group are dancing to this...I know it's not flamenco palo but it is beautiful the way they are able to dance to this.. Thanks, Kalo

They were fooled by the beard...they thought he was McGuire and that this was his new tangos falseta.

This video is kinda creepy. Those dancers, this guy and the older dancer. Looks like they belong to a cult with bizarre beliefs and rituals.

Thanks Ricardo...I thought it would have to be 4/4 type tangos sequence... quote: [This video is kinda creepy. Those dancers, this guy and the older dancer. Looks like they belong to a cult with bizarre beliefs and rituals. The song is kinda of creepy and I will give you that. The reason why I posted is wanting to know how the dancers could sequence there dance steps to this folk style pop. Okay, older dancer, [8\|] She doesn't look old too me... Kalo

Not sure why it would have to be inspired by any particular palo. Just a choreography written specifically for that song, no?

The teacher is Yaelisa. I played for some of her classes years ago. She is incredibly skilled, graceful, and knowledgeable. I know some of the other girls too, but it's been almost twenty years since I played for dance regularly so not so much the younger ones. I'm usually not a fan of flamenco danced to other music, but I absolutely love this performance. Creepy? You should be so lucky as to play for her, or any of her better students for that matter. Cult? Yes a flamenco cult. quote: ORIGINAL: devilhand This video is kinda creepy. Those dancers, this guy and the older dancer. Looks like they belong to a cult with bizarre beliefs and rituals.

Mark2, You might have played for her closer to when the video was made than you realize: that video was posted in January 2008! Tony

Isn't that Yaelisa standing next to the guy? [:D] Edit: Oh, I see someone ID'd her already LOL Kalo, not creepy - they probably considered that to be really artistic and progressive back in 2008, and so they did it. May have generated a bit of cash from it too, so all the more incentive.

Guys, I am not saying the dancing is creepy or Yaelisa is creepy. I actually love the dance they are doing to the video. Yaelisa is AWESOME.....I know who she is through watching Jason's videos... The song is kind of sad to me especially if you know the meaning of what is about..I was just kind of agreeing with Devilhand when he said the song was kind of creepy... But, again the flamenco dancer and Yaelisa dancing is so moving. Kalo

quote: How Can They Dance To This They are masters of cultural appropriation[8D][:D] Joke! Seriously though, if you have ever heard/seen a dancer or dance class dancing to just straight palmas hammering out a beat, that's how they do it. They take moves/steps from the basic beat of tangos and apply them to the basic beat of some other music. Then they can get clever and take things from Sevillanas and whatever other palos and combine them with their creative imagination and put them to One O'clock jump by Count Basie - that's really weird! (was done by one of the dance teachers I used to play for before lockdown a couple of years ago).
