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.
