The Sevillanas is a colorful and exciting style of song and dance that is danced by pairs or groups of people. This style of dance is performed at fiestas of all kinds throughout Spain, [weddings, family parties] but especially during the feria, when women will wear the Traje Gitanas, the colorful ruffled dresses that add character and grace to the dance. Young or old, everyone dances… for many, dancing Sevillanas is something they have grown up with and learned simply by being constantly surrounded by it.
