Interestingly,
the popular Sevillana dance is like a
bullfight. The graceful movements of this
dance shows what the bullfighter does to
the bull. In bullfighting, the bullfighter
fights with the bull.
In
the Sevillana dance, the man (the male
dancer) fights with the woman (the female
dancer). The man imitates the art of the
bullfighter and uses the different poses
that the bullfighter uses to fight the
bull.
