How are flamenco dancers able to tap their feet so quickly?

It’s like tap dancing, plus flamenco dancers have the maracas so you’re hearing the maracas and the clicking of the shoes.

Training, and they have 2 contact points on their feet, so you can double the audible tapping rate. Also there is hand clapping and finger snipping.

Practice, practice, practice!

Cockroaches.

Well , no. It’s training. Much like those Irish clog dancers

They channel their passion . . . and train a lot.

They are trying to compete with the Irish…Irish ahead at the moment.

It is simply a learned skill and I will make a guess that not everyone is able to learn to do those leg/ankle/feet movements at the speed of light, I mean Irish.
