In Are You Talking To Me?, eleven dancers dive into the music and performance world of flamenco.
In flamenco, a jaleo is a cheer towards the dancers and the singer, including words of encouragement called out to the performers, as individuals or as a group, as well as hand-clapping. Among common jaleo shouts are “olé”and ''así se baila ("that's the way to dance"). Done to accompany the rhythm of the music, it may constitute an integral part of the flamenco art.
Feel free to laugh, cry, or cheer the dancers throughout the show.
