The meter of fandango is similar to that of the bolero and seguidilla. He also provided a new opening line for the "Seguidilla" in act 1. They were derived from the Seguidilla, an old Castilian folk music and dance genre. Partners repeat this graceful interchange one more time before returning to the "seguidilla" figure. A seguidilla is a popular song or dance form composed from four to seven verses. To distinguish the sung boleros from the dance itself, the term "seguidilla bolera" is used.
