I don't know any current flamenco dancers, but in the past there was no end of great ones. Who is your favorite bailaora from the past? Who is your favorite bailaor from the past?

Here are my choices:

Bailor – Antonio Gades.

First video – He's very young.

Second video – He's older. Nobody did a Farruca like Gades.

Bailora – Merche Esmeralda

You can't really fully appreciate how great she is from a YouTube video, because it loses the fluidity that you can see on film, but even in this clip you can see what a phenomenal dancer she is. Watch her hands and arms. Also one of the sexiest women I have ever seen, and watch when she flashes that killer smile. These are from the Carlos Saura film "Sevillanas."

Who are your choices?

Hola Amigos
Yes, I like Antonio Gades too. Some people say he was more bailarín than bailaor but for me he was good.
I once saw a great dancer from Córdoba called Juan Fernández. I really liked him a lot and have not seen him again. I wonder where he is.

While looking for street flamenco, I recently found a bailaora on youtube who is very good, but I can't find out her name.
