The Flamenco guitarist is a partner to the Flamenco dancer -- two people embarking on shared but separate journeys.
Flamenco dance is not dancing steps to music; it is dancing from your heart within a rhythm structure, using Flamenco technique and being able to communicate non-verbally in a manner that a Flamenco guitarist can accompany you -- follow you not lead you. A proficient dancer knows the rhythms, a proficient guitarist knows the rhythms, and mostly that is all that is needed.
