Costumes for the "Ball de Gitanes".

Our country is full of traditions, where music and dance unite neighbors on holidays. One of these traditions is the »Ball de Gitanes" in Catalonia or the "Dansa de la carxofa o Ball de les magranes" in the Valencian Community, where castanets, bells and dresses with a lot of flight are the protagonists.

It is a series of choreographies danced in pairs, where several characters appear, each with their own costumes. According to tradition, it is a dance that takes place close to Carnival, although many municipalities also dance it during the Fiestas Mayores, which last from spring to autumn.

While it is true that each colla or esbart -the name given to the dance groups- chooses its own combination and colors, there is a certain pattern in these sets.

Image: Wikipedia.. Ball de la Carxofa d'Algemesí. Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Women wear a two-piece dress with shirt or T-shirt on top, skirt with ruffle and belt. It can also be accompanied with an embroidered shawl.

For his part, the man wears a white or black shirt and pants, and depending on the dance or the region, can be accompanied by a vest, a red satin bow or a sash, among others.

Flamenco dance fabrics

In Ravial we are specialized in flamenco fashion, among others. And one of the branches of this flamenco fashion is dance. A discipline danced all over the world where the fabric helps to give movement and spectacularity to such an incredible dance.

Therefore, today we analyze the different families of fabrics that best suit this discipline:

Knitted fabrics

When looking for a comfortable fabric, especially for rehearsal skirts, we must look at the interlock.An elastic fabric that only stretches to one side.

Flamenco dance: Origin of its dance, history and characteristics. Bailarinas de Ballet.



Also, we can choose a soft knit that stretches to both sides.


Crepe fabrics

A durable, fairly lightweight, matte and roughto the touch fabric, available in both plain and a variety of prints. This type of fabric will give us drape as well as good shape.It is not an elastic fabric.

Flamenco dance for adults. Victoria Artillo



Elastic velvet

This is a bi-elastic fabric, elegant and with a lot of presence, which does not wrinkle.

Velvet dress. Flamenco Folk.


Transparencies

The details of the suit are what will give it character and personality. And a good tool, in addition to the pattern, is to play with transparencies. The only requirement to take into consideration is that it is an elastic fabric so that it can adapt to the body, following every movement before returning to its natural shape.



Other fabrics for flamenco dance

We finish this review with complementary fabrics that can also be used to make flamenco dance garments.



An opportunity for all those dance academies that are preparing the end of course festival, preparing their flamenco dance dresses.

If you have any questions or want more information about our fabrics, consult sales agent or contact our customer service team!.

Our customer service hours are Monday to Thursday from 08:30H. to 18:00H. and Friday from 08:00H. to 14:00H..
