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


==Concept==
: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.
T-Pain has described the album's theme by comparing the music industry to a [[circus]]. He has extended this concept with his album and single covers, tailored to resemble carnival flyers, as well as with his music videos and style of dress. Most significantly, at the 2008 Bet Awards, where he wore a flamboyant, silver and black, designer circus-ringleader outfit with a matching [[top hat]] and the [[MTV Video Music Awards|MTV 2008 Video Music Awards]], where he won #1 Best Entrance by arriving on an [[elephant]].


==History==
: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.--[[User:Pan Gerwazy|Pan Gerwazy]] 23:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but as far as I know, sevillanas is not flamenco, though I do think it takes some influence from it. The trouble is, whenever Spanish dancing is mentioned, people automatically think of flamenco! <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.138.227.69|86.138.227.69]] ([[User talk:86.138.227.69|talk]]) 13:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
