The sevillana is a colorful exciting style of song and dance that originated in Castile. It is a type of folk music and dance of Sevilla. The sevillana is not flamenco although today it is performed by flamenco artist.
The students at CIEE were immersed in the music and culture of Spain. They learned the structure and rhythm. Each sevillana is composed of 4 “coplas” each “copla” or verse is divided into 3 sections or tercios.
Dancing is an expression of love, and our students showed their love of sevillanas while they danced with their peers.
