Expert Answer

It depends—many rhythms and footwork require hours of practice, and most of it isn't used for social dance purposes. Still, the Siguiriyas is a type of Flamenco dance that is meant for social outings, and is a good starting point for anyone interested in learning.

Question

Can I learn with tap or jazz shoes?

Community Answer

If you don't have the traditional 'flamenco' shoes, use jazz shoes rather than tap shoes, as they are more flexible and don't have the distinctive noise of a tap shoe.
