If you thought flamenco was just another art form, think again! Antonio Hidalgo, famous flamenco dancer from Lucena, Cordoba in southern part of Spain has a different version to share.
The dancer was recently in the city for a performance and chatted with CS about flamenco, his love for dance and more:
The way we live
I am born and brought up in the southern part of Spain. Here, flamenco is the way people live. It isn’t just a form of dance or music; it is our lifestyle. It is the way we laugh, cry, express feelings and emotions. If anyone asks me when I learned flamenco, I reply I don’t know. I was born into flamenco and like no one remembers when they first spoke, I don’t remember when I learnt it. It’s in my blood! (smiles)
