Yes, flamenco is generally considered to be older than Ballet. Flamenco originated in the Andalusian region of Spain, developing in the 18th century from a mix of cultural influences, including Romani, Moorish, and indigenous Spanish traditions. In contrast, ballet emerged in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century and evolved into a distinct art form in France and Russia by the 17th and 18th centuries. Therefore, flamenco's roots are more closely tied to folk traditions that predate the formalization of ballet.

What are the dance steps for flamenco in written form i have a dance essay to write and need to know the basic steps in a basic routine and their names?

The principle dance notation (written form) worldwide is 'LABAN NOTATION'. This is used by choreographers for all styles. That is Ballet, Contempory, and in this case Flamenco. A data base for the information regarding basic Flamenco routines can be found in the archives of Spanish Flamenco Academies and the equivalent in Mexico, & U.S. This maybe quite difficult to obtain quickley. My suggestion would be to contact the nearest Flamenco school that has access to this information. The Spanish Embassy (in your national capital may be able to assist if you wish to contact a particular area in Spain (Savilla being the most prevalent regarding Flamenco). The Spanish are very proud of their Flamenco and will hopefully be able to assist regarding your enquiries.

How do you perform a flamenco dance?

Flamenco is a dance performed to specific flamenco music which comes from the Andalusia region of Spain. It's not easy to describe how to perform flamenco in writing - most people who try to imitate the style will stamp their feet, but they stamp them in totally the wrong way. Flamenco dancers do stamp with flat feet occasionally, but they also use the toe and heel in multiple combinations. To dance flamenco, you need to hold a very upright posture. Arms are similar to ballet but with the elbows higher and further back.
