The fandango brings motion, wit, and sensual brightness into a poem, balancing measured steps with sudden turns. Its name may summon guitars, clapping hands, and dancers answering one another in a crowded courtyard, yet it can also suggest flirtation or emotional instability. Used figuratively, the term describes a scene of spirited exchange in which desire, pride, and celebration keep changing partners beneath the music.
