I went to Spain with a student group when I was in high school. During this same period of time, I played several percussion instruments. My husband tried to teach me Latin ballroom dancing. This was long ago. My love for watching and listening to Flamenco dancing and its music has stayed with me.
In anticipation of Hispanic Heritage month, here is a mini celebration of the castanet. Castanets, also called clackers, are a percussion instrument often used in flamenco dance.
This is an AI generated image. The prompt was “dancing with castanets”. It successfully created the dancer, though it never was able to create the castanet as I envision them used in dancing.
