flamenco show

Andalusian dance performance

A flamenco show is a staged performance of flamenco—the passionate Spanish art form combining guitar, singing, dance, and rhythmic handclapping.

These performances range from intimate tablao venues in Seville to tourist-oriented dinner shows: We caught a flamenco show in Granada.

The term typically implies a formal presentation rather than spontaneous performance.
