Final answer:
Flamenco, a traditional Spanish dance known for its expressive movements, is historically associated with the gypsies of Andalusia in Spain, making option B, 'known as the dance of the gypsies,' the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Flamenco is traditionally known as the dance of the gypsies (B). Originating in the Andalusia region of Spain, Flamenco is a highly-expressive, Spanish dance form. It is characterized by hand clapping, percussive footwork, and intricate hand, arm, and body movements. Flamenco is widely recognized for its emotional intensity, proud carriage, and expressive use of the arms and rhythmical stomping of the feet.
While it is often performed by a woman in a ruffled dress, men are also traditional performers of Flamenco. The art form can consist of singing (cante), guitar playing (toque), dance (baile), and even vocalizations and chorus clapping (palmas) that serve as a form of percussion.
