Grab your castanets and your dancing shoes. The Museum of Flamenco Dancing, (Museo del Baile Flamenco) has just opened in Seville in Andalusia, birthplace of this centuries-old art form. Cristina Hoyos, one of flamenco's most acclaimed stars and the brainchild behind the new museum, founded it in her hometown in southern Spain to "spread the gospel of flamenco dance." Conceived as a meeting place for aficionados and a dance school, visitors will be able to learn more about the history of flamenco and its "immortals" and even try their hand, or rather feet, at a zapateado.*

The $4.8 million three-story museum sits in the historic heart of Seville, between two of the city's most striking monuments: the 14th-century Gothic cathedral and the 10th-century mudéjar-style Royal Palace.
