The site, http://mundosevillanas.eresmas.com/
, has disappeared but seems to have reincarnated here:
http://sevillanas.tuportal.com/
The following tables include the form of the Sevillanas, seen in the first two columns, as seen at the Sevillanas website by Charles H. Keyser, Jr.
I have added, in the third column, a listing of the actual dance steps taken at each point. For a more thorough description of the structure of the Sevillanas and an explanation of what's going on during the marking of the compas and the salida, I highly recommend the above website. Comments, suggestions, corrections to the third column are most welcome. (Mail to Lonnie)
