Flamenco on HubPages
82Following the success of Belly Dancing on HubPages, I thought I'd create a similar directory for flamenco-related articles here on HP.
Unfortunately, there aren't all that many on flamenco dance - and most of them are mine. So I feel like I'm hogging that section somewhat! Maybe this Hub will encourage a few more writers to write about flamenco dancing!
If you decide to write something, be sure to let me know so I can include it here.

Flamenco Guitar
I shouldn't be surprised to find more articles about flamenco guitar than about flamenco dancing. After all, it reflects the relative importance of the guitarist and the dancer in the flamenco world!
I'm not a guitarist, so I can't vouch for the quality of these guitar Hubs. Please let me know if you feel some of them aren't worthy of inclusion - or if I've missed some that should be here.
