Flamenco is first and foremost, the music or more precisely, the songs. The cante is the most important part of flamenco. Outside Spain, the dancer is the best known but in Spain, the cantaor comes first! Then the guitarist, then the dancer.

Is flamenco a single person dance?

Yes, flamenco is traditionally a solo dance. Sometimes, several dancers will get up and dance during one piece of music, but they will generally "tag" each other (one sits down and the next stands up to take over) rather than dance at the same time. You will see flamenco danced in groups by amateur troupes, in choreographed theatre shows, and by entertainers in Spanish tourist tablaos. Flamenco is not a social dance so it is not danced with a partner. The Sevillanas is a popular Spanish partner dance, often used in flamenco performances but it is not actually flamenco.

What is the guitar for in flamenco?

The guitar is a major part in flamenco. It provides accompaniment for the dancer, and makes the dance interesting instead of just endless footwork and arm movements. It is possible to perform flamenco without a guitar, but the dance is just that much worse because of it, and using a CD is entirely non-traditional (and makes it sound really bad). The guitar is also a HUGE part of flamenco music; in fact, flamenco music mainly consists of just the guitar, the voice, and the cajon.
