IPA guide

Other forms: fandangos

Long before it was a website for buying movie tickets, fandango was (and still is) a seductive Spanish dance for two.

You'll want to grab your castanets before you hit the dance floor, because those are required for authenticity as you dance the fandango. A fandango involves a lot of twirling and you'd better be quick, because this triple-time dance is not for dancing novices. Also, it helps to pick someone you're dating or have a crush on, because this is a dance for lovers.
