Flamenco[edit]

I don't understand. Sevillanas are or nor a part of Flamenco?

Sevillanas have in the recent past been stylized by Flamenco dancers and Flamenco teachers. In one sense, it has been incorporated into Flamenco. Like some other dance styles (eg rumba gitana). However, historically, there is no link with Seville. It was just the North of Spain pretending this was the way they danced in the South. And actually convincing French romantic writers and English tourists of this. No wonder Flamenco purists object to the inclusion of the Sevillanas among "Flamenco styles". Some go so far as claiming Sevillanas have as much to do with Flamenco as that "Latin" ballroom dance, the paso doble, has.

But Sevillanas have their advantages. It is easy to learn them and so, they even get men on the dance floor. The other Flamenco dance styles have only women performers, apart from a very limited number of very, very good men.--Pan Gerwazy 23:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please provide SOME sort of facts to back up this claim that Sevillanas are not from Sevilla. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.32.172.57 (talk) 18:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimate proof that Sevillanas is ineed flamenco[edit]

Paco de Lucia plays Sevillanas, Paco Pena plays Sevillanas, Tomatito play Sevillanas. 'nuff said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.201.242 (talk) 21:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Castanets[edit]

The entry for "castanets" says that Sevillanas, not flamenco, is the preferred dance form for use of castanets, but this entry (Sevillanas) makes no mention of castanets. Rainier Wolfcastle (talk) 19:41, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
