The sevillanas are the traditional folk-song and dance of the festivities in the Andalusia region. Today, it is the most popular dance of Andalusia, it is even danced in discotheques.
Sevillanas music is very light and happy, its lyrics are very rich. Country life, virgins, towns, pilgrimage and love are the main themes of inspiration.
Sevillanas are danced in southern Spain for centuries… They were first danced in neighbours’ houses and in patios. Nowadays they are danced worldwide in discotheques, professional schools, festivities…
This vivid dance dates from the moorish period in Spain. Maybe were the belly dancers the ones to inspire the sevillanas.
Lively colours, beautiful costumes, joy, fun… And much more to expect from the sevillanas!
