Description:

The Sevillanas is a traditional folk dance from Spain that is now danced at festivals and parties all throughout Spain. While the Sevillanas takes its name from the Spanish city of Sevilla (Seville), it does not originate from Sevilla. It is a fun palo that is usually danced in pairs of either male and female or two females.  It originally consisted of seven “coplas” or short dances, but now only the first four coplas are danced. There are several different types of Sevillanas. Often times “palillos” or castanets are used by dancers in the Sevillanas.
