El Remedio

El Remedio is a happy, lively dance of gallantry where the man and woman dance apart until the very end. It is generally danced with handkerchiefs waving overhead and dipping in salute. In the choreo-graphy, the man celebrates the woman and makes her the object of his attention, chasing her through the four corners and turns, showing off for her his best efforts in the Zapateo, hoping to win her admiration. The handkerchief plays a part in this dance and is important in the courtship as the dancers can express through its movements how they feel.

Presented by Pampa Cortés in 2013. View pdf here.
