It’s more that it is not a “technical” dance. Yes, there are things that you can learn, but not in a structured class. You learn by seeing, dancing and feeling. And feeling can’t be taught. A big thing in flamenco is “duende”, which is when you can see and feel the emotion that the dancer is feeling. Like triggering a collective catharsis.
