Dance researcher and movement analyst Adair Landborn introduces readers to the ongoing discussion in Spanish scholarship about the links between flamenco dance and bullfighting, and then moves deeper into the heart of these two quintessentially Spanish arts from the perspective of an anthropologist and from her own first-person experience as both dancer and student of bullfighting.

Seeing flamenco dance and bullfighting as parallel arts within the same kinesthetic culture, Landborn describes their informal practice in private settings and their emergence as formal rituals in the public bullfight arena and on the flamenco stage.

As Landborn discusses key bullfighting techniques and their sometimes direct, sometimes subtle influence on the flamenco dance style, readers are led to a greater appreciation of both arts and a deeper understanding of Spanish culture and worldview.

Proficient in two genres, flamenco and contemporary modern dance, Adair Landborn is a choreographer, cross-cultural dance scholar, and movement analyst currently teaching at the University of New Mexico at Taos, USA. She offers workshops nationally and internationally on flamenco dance notation and flamenco and bullfighting, and is the artistic director and performs regularly with the Peña Flamenca de Taos. She lives in El Prado, New Mexico, USA.
