This dance is a rhythmic variation of soleares. The
word "alegria" in Spanish means "joy." This style is
from the city of Cadiz. For the rhythm of alegrias, an
abundance of accents and variations is typical. Each
alegrias may differ from the other depending on the
requirements of the choreography, as well as the
individuality of the dancer. It is necessary to memorize
several components of alegrias. Here are the most
important ones:
Introduction
Llamada -- translated as "call", indicates the transition
from one phrase to another.
Silencio -- means "silence", playing at a slow pace
during the transition to the mnorny tonality.
Escobilia -- the dancer interprets this variation with the
help of various rhythmic patterns beaten by heels.
Paseo -- is another choreographic variation of Alegrias.
Desplante -- is the final section, which can be
characterized as a more mobile llamada. However,
unlike it, the desplante consists of two compases, and
not one.
Alegrias is played in the key of E major (the conclusion
is in A minor Alegrias Cordoba). The size is the same as
in the bulerias and soleares, that is, 3/4. One compas
consists of 4 bars or 12 fractions with accent on the
3rd, 6th, 10th and 12th parts.
