What are five moves (pasos) of flamenco dancing?

I know there are more than 5 moves, but all I need is 5 moves.
I did mean pasos not palos, but what is the difference?

There is a lot more than just 5 moves in Flamenco... Did you mean Pasos or Palos? Flamenco music styles are called palos in Spanish. There are over 50 different palos flamenco, although some of them are rarely performed. A palo can be defined as musical form of flamenco. Flamenco songs are classified into palos based on several musical and non-musical criteria such as its basic rhythmic pattern, mode, chord progression, form of the stanza, or geographic origin. The rhythmic patterns of the palos are also often called compás. A compás (the Spanish normal word for either time signature or bar) is characterised by a recurring pattern of beats and accents.
The following classification reflects another traditional classification of cantes more based on rhythmic pattern, but also taking the origin into account:
Toná Palos (usually known as Cantes a palo seco)
Palos based on the Soleá rhythm
Palos derived from Fandango
Seguiriya Palos
Palos with a Tango rhythm
Palos de "Ida y vuelta"
