If you are looking for a flamenco skirt to complement your body, top, leotard or flamenco blouse this section of our Tamara Flamenco online store is the right place.

In our extensive catalog you can find everything from flamenco skirts and sevillanas for rehearsals to tailor-made, fully customizable skirts for higher level dancers. In TAMARA Flamenco we care that each of our dance skirts have certain essential qualities in Flamenco dance-wear.  These qualities make our articles a high-quality clothing designed exclusively for flamenco dancers as they ensure good handling and a long service life.  Here we present you with the ones we believe to be the 3 most important ones and which here at Tamara Flamenco we make sure that each one of these qualities are met.

 - All rehearsal models have the statutory minimum fullness (this greatly facilitates learning especially at the beginning and makes the effect while dancing even more beautiful)

-   The skirts are made with patented fabrics that have a high resistance to run-ups thereby ensuring a longer useful life of our dance costumes. (This quality will be of great help especially for beginners, who tend to inadvertently to rub, scratch or hook their heels to the rehearsal skirt)

-  In the production very specific fabrics that do not produce static are selected (This quality makes the skirt management very comfortable because the fabric does not continuously stick to  the dancer’s body like many other types of fabrics).

In our catalog of Flamenco skirts you can find more traditional Seville skirts and Flamenco wardrobe models with more modern and groundbreaking designs with fabric, colors and prints.  In our catalog you will notice that some models are even in different fabrics.  This is because in TAMARA Flamenco we seek to adapt to the dancer’s needs and preferences regarding the dancing wardrobe.  Among our fabrics there are: lycra Flamenco skirts, lace skirts, lace sevillanas skirts, Flamenco dance skirt made out of viscose, skirts used for dancing Flamenco point, velvet skirts (normal and Martelé) and dance skirts made out of  Koshivo fabric or Crepe.  The most common question we are asked is: Which one is best for the dancer? The answer is simple. There is no fabric better than another, it's all a matter of preference and it’s a question of when is the garment going to be used.  Here we present a brief summary of our most common fabrics:

-  Knit: Here at TAMARA Flamenco we work with a special fabric suitable for the flamenco wardrobe (not the usual point of fabric stores) and it has a high resistance to runs. The skirts with these fabrics have very good value, it is one of the beginner’s preferred fabrics and it tends to be used a lot in Flamenco basic models for rehearsals.

- Viscose: It is more elastic and thinner than the point and at the time it is our best-selling fabric.  The price difference is not much but both the touch and the fall of the fabric, tend to like more. It adapts well to the body and being a fine fabric, it does not provide much heat when dancing like other fabrics do.  t

In TAMARA Flamenco we only use the Lycra trademark.  This means that it is authentic lycra®. Many stores sell their garments as Lycra when they are actually only imitation fabric which loses elasticity and the Lycra properties much faster that of an authentic Lycra.  To make sure you buy authentic Lycra (which ensures high quality and durability), make sure it has a label with the brand sewn to the garment or labeled on the outside.  The greatest quality of this fabric (if it’s authentic) is that it has high durability in its elasticity, that is why it is used in a good quality leotard.  If you like clothes that are tight to the body, this could be a good choice.

Koshivo / Crepe (inelastic): Very light and volatile fabric. It is perfect for the stage and often it is present in made to size or high quality skirts (because it is a more expensive fabric).  This is a favorite for both teachers and great dance professionals due to its fullness, dance and effect while dancing.

Velvet: In TAMARA Flamenco we work with two types of velvet.  Conventional and Martelé (both special for high quality and semi elasticity dance costumes).  Velvet is a fabric that is characterized by soft, thick hair with a light or dark reflection depending on where the light is indicating towards and where it is at its heaviest.  This type of fabric is spectacular in any flamenco garment and its mostly destined for shows, galas and stages because the fabric is a bit heavier than others and brings more heat to the dancer during the dance but certainly this fabric is the one that brings the most elegance and distinction to any garment.
