Hire Flamenco Dancers and Spanish Musicians

Flamenco is a music genre and dance style originally from Andalucia, Extremadura and Murcia, southern regions of Spain. Flamenco is a mixture of many cultures and roots: Arab, Jewish, Gypsy, and the Spanish culture itself. Widely popular for its great emotional intensity, Flamenco is distinguished by graceful arm movements, hand clapping, ferocious and rhythmic feet stomping and guitar strumming. Flamenco dancers transmit the profound feelings expressed by Flamenco singers and guitarists through movement. Sorrow, loneliness, unhappiness, anguish, desperation, love, passion and joy are Flamenco’s central topics.

Scarlett Entertainment can offer you a wide variety of Spanish & Flamenco dancers, singers and musicians. If you’re interested in booking a Flamenco performer, there are many dancing crews, solo dancers, Spanish guitarists and guitar bands to consider. 

On the other hand, we can also offer Flamenco dancers who combine this traditional dance style with some video mapping, a fusion that makes their performance even more beautiful and that allow them to create customised projections with any brand’s logo or image. 

You can also book Masked Flamenco Dancers who can perform elegant and fast-paced routines dressed in extravagant costumes and flamboyant masks. There are many different themed entertainment options available and you can find out more about them by contacting our entertainment specialists today.

Spanish and Flamenco performers can bring the authenticity and real identity of Spain to any event. They can be a great addition to ceremonies, after dinner experiences and traditional Spanish weddings. They’re also a good entertainment option for theme parties or international trade shows whose aim is to reflect the particular tradition of each country.

Absolutely! Indeed, most of our Flamenco dancers can be booked alongside a Spanish guitar player. The essence of Flamenco lies in three pillars: music (guitar), dancing and singing. Therefore, the majority of our Flamenco dancers can not only be joined by a guitar player but also by traditional singers.

Definitely! Flamenco dancers are both male and female (‘baialor’ and ‘bailaora’). We can offer female soloists, male crews and also mixed groups. Female soloists are very popular because of the beautiful colourful dresses they wear. Male crews perform very dynamic and passionate performances, and mixed groups can offer a very varied and complete performance. In either case, our Flamenco singers will delight audiences with their intense and electrifying performances.

Not necessarily, but their colourful, tight-fitting, long-tail dresses are some of the most characteristic features of their performance. Aesthetics are fundamental to Flamenco, so their dresses are as important as any other element of the show. With regards to fans, these are not the only accessory Flamenco dancers use: they also use castanets and wear big flowers and shawls to complete their look.

Up to 30 Spanish and Flamenco performers can be booked for one single performance. This group of artists includes singers, dancers and guitar players, which are all the performers needed for a varied, complete and dynamic Flamenco show.

Our Spanish dancers not only perform Flamenco but also other traditional dances such as Aurresku (originally from the Basque Country, Northern Spain) and other contemporary dance styles such as ballet and Latin dances like Salsa and Merengue.

When it comes to Flamenco, it’s very important to be aware that dancers require a specific type of flooring to perform, as they use tap shoes and stomp furiously on the floor. Therefore, flamenco performances require a wooden floor. Keep in mind other shows like ballet acts can’t be performed on concrete, plaster or ceramic floors.

This always depends on the type of show you book. For instance, Flamenco dancing groups can perform for up to 2 hours with short breaks. Soloists usually dance for 15-20 minutes. Of course, they can adapt their performances to be shorter or longer to suit your event’s requirements. On the other hand, live bands can play various sets of 45 minutes or one set of one hour and a half.

This is heavily dependant on if they perform to recorded or live music. Performances with live music usually require a sound system or speakers for the guitars and some microphones for the singers. If dancers perform to recorded music, they normally use a portable speaker. Of course, it always depends on the size of the venue and the number of guests, so for bigger audiences, a more powerful sound system may be required. Dancers usually request a specific type of flooring and some of them even suggest bringing their own 4 m x 4 m (13ft x 13ft) portable stage to ensure they stomp on an appropriate floor.

Although it’s true the Spanish guitar is the key instrument in Flamenco, there can be other musicians involved in Flamenco performances. For example, apart from guitar playing, some musicians can also play the Flamenco box and other instruments like violins.

Not necessarily! Flamenco’s fame has spread worldwide, which has contributed to the emergence of Flamenco performers in many parts of the world. Scarlett Entertainment has Flamenco and Spanish dancers, singers and guitarists based in countries like France, Italy, England, the US and, of course, in Spain. However, our theme artists are more than happy to travel to events anywhere in the world and provide any party with an authentic Spanish flavour.

Our Spanish and Flamenco artists can perform a wide variety of songs. Some of them are beautiful traditional melodies, others are more modern tunes from styles such as Salsa or Rumba Catalana. Some of the songs they can play and sing includes ‘Noches de Bohemia’ or ‘Yo Soy del Sur’, which will delight Flamenco lovers, or more modern tunes such as ‘Valio la Pena’ or ‘Corazon Espinado’, which will make Latin and Salsa fans leave their seats and dance.

Yes, absolutely! Scarlett Entertainment can offer you some widely recognised Spanish and Flamenco dancers like Los Vivancos. This Flamenco dancing crew is very popular due to their participation in various Spanish and French TV shows including ‘Spain’s Got Talent’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars’. They have also performed for Princess Stefanie of Monaco at the Monte Carlo Festival and represented Spain at the ‘Expo Latino 06’ in Canada. Consisting of seven male brothers, this famous dancing group is an award-winning crew known by their incredible talent and their shirtless performances.
