I'm currently studying Tribal bellydance and Flamenco and often I wonder how I could truly connect the two. I've seen many attempts at just combining the dances with music but usually there are false attempts at mastering true flamenco technique with bellydance. Which is understandable considering that flamenco is quite difficult. The two main similarities between the dances are arm work and finger instruments. Zils for bellydance and castanets for flamenco. Both which add a certain level of intensity and mysticism. I've thought of combining castanets with flamenco but have never seen it successfully executed until now.
