Yeah, hot steaming summer, sipping wine on the terrace….. I take you to Spain to see Flamenco dance.

"Flamenco is a genre of music, song and dance from Andalusia in southern Spain, noted for its energetic, staccato style. It grew from Andalusian music, song and dance styles, influenced by the song and dance of the local Romani people.
The cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), dance (baile) and palmas (handclaps) are the principal facets of flamenco.
In recent years flamenco has become popular all over the world and is taught in many countries. On November 16, 2010, UNESCO declared Flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity." (Wikipedia)



Flamenco dance is so vibrant and full of expression that I really got caught and I wanted to share my poses with you.
There are two series so I split them in two uploads

You will need cmomoney's Pose Player found here. (as you problably already know)

Note:

Poses 1 and 2 have some issues, due to the way the game handles the poly’s between the legs. The right part of a skirt moves with the right leg, the left part moves with the left leg. The polys in the middle get stretched to fill the gap This causes some deformation in pattern and such. There is nothing to be done about this. As a workaround you might change dotted dresses to plain fabric, that helps. From some angles (front and back) you wouldn’t notice.



Note 2:
These poses are made with normal fit Sims, so there might be clipping issues with hands if you should use a fat Sim. (but then again dancers are normally not fat)



Some poses can be used with a fan (see the pics). Fan is by Alexis which can be found here.

All poses are poselist compatible.



These are not really couple poses, but you can use them as such and mix and match them as you like. All poses can be used by males and females, allthough I had the females in mind for the first serie.
The ‘A’ in the names referres to the second attempts after pc meltdown, this time made with Blender. Some poses have a variation in hands/head or in the direction of looking. The pose 6AM I made when I noticed clipping issues with the collar and chin of the male. Here I raised the head a little bit.

Names of the poses:

a_flamenco1Av2_fw
a_flamenco2A_fw
