Flamenco dancers wear red as a sign of their passion and emotion. The bright, vibrant colour symbolises the intensity of the dance and the powerful feelings it evokes in the audience members. It's also said to represent fire and energy, which is appropriate for the fast-paced moves that make up flamenco dancing.  Red is often seen in traditional Flamenco performances in Malaga, as well as across Spain, but you might be surprised - most flamenco costumes are not actually red at all! Flamenco costumes come in a whole range of colours, with black being another popular colour for performers to wear.
