The roots of Spanish dance reach to antiquity, including the famed Andalusian dancing girls of Roman times; the court entertainments of the Moorish caliphs; the theatrical dance dating from the reign (1474–1504)
of Ferdinand and Isabella; 16th-century courtly dances such as the zarabanda, chacona, pasacalle, and folía; and the liturgical dances (los seises) that are still performed in the cathedral at Toledo. Modern Spanish dance falls into four main categories:
(1) Regional dances, such as the jota of Aragón, the sevillanas of Andalusia, the sardana of Catalonia, and the widespread fandango.
(2) FLAMENCO, (q.v.), the dance of the Gypsies of southern Spain, with possible roots in Indian dance.
(3) School dancing, or classical Spanish dance, which developed as a staged stylization of individual regional dances. Taught formally by dancing masters, school dancing reached its zenith in the early 19th century, acquiring specific techniques and terminology alongside its proud, sensual character and distinctive carriage of the torso, head, and arms.
(4) Neoclassical Spanish dance, a renaissance of classical Spanish dance during the late 19th century.
Classical Spanish Dance encompasses sophisticated choreography of Classical Music by great Spanish composers such as Manuel de Falla, Albéniz, Granados, and Turina. Dancers wear either Spanish dance shoes or Ballet shoes, often while playing the castanets. The dance blends Flamenco, Folklore, and Classical Ballet.
Eighteenth Century Dances, called “Escuela Bolera”, are short dances performed with outfits, shoes and castanets typical of the time of the great Spanish painter Goya, which is why they are also called “Goyescas”. These dances are performed using dance steps from classical ballet along with movements and expressions typical of XVIII Century Spain.
