The Sequidilla was a Spanish dance which originated in Castille, Spain. This moderately fast Spanish dance done in 3/4 time has many varieties and derivatives in every Hispanic country and province. It is based on the Pas de Basque which means in Spanish 'Paso de Vasco'. The Sequidilla is closely related to the Sevillana Dance, which in Andalusia, the dance Sequidilla is often called "Sevillina" with the musical arrangement of the Sevillina being the Sequidilla.

    It has similarities to the Bolero and Fandango. One version is danced by eight performers. The performers range up in two files, with three or four paces interval

between them, and commence dancing to the usual accompaniment of castanets, guitar, etc. It is a very exact and definite dance, and the bars of the music counted for each fresh movement. Thus, are on the fourth bar the dancing begins, on the ninth there is a pause, while at intervals, just as in the Bolero, the performers stop in a rigid and immovable pose, this, if good, being especially applauded by the onlookers.
