Sevillanas are danced by couples of all ages and sexes during celebrations (''fiestas'' or ''ferias''), often by whole families and towns. Sevillana choreography is characterized by stability and functionality, since it is a festival dance. This is why those intending to dance flamenco usually start by learning sevillanas; they are easier to master and there are more occasions for practice and training.

The rhythm of Sevillanas can be interpreted as 3/4, although it is generally 6/8.
Each sevillana is composed of four or sometimes seven parts, with each part divided into three ''coplas'' and with each ''copla'' made up of six movements. During festivals and shows, it is often the Sevillana dancing visitors to [[Andalusia]] mistakenly take as Flamenco, as it is a vivid style, full of turns.
