bolero
blâr´) (KEY) , national dance of Spain, introduced c.1780 by Sebastian
Zerezo, or Cerezo. Of
Moroccan origin, it resembles the fandango. It is in 2–4 or 3–4 time for
solo or duo dancing and is
performed to the accompaniment of castanets, guitar, and the voices of
the dancers. Ravel’s
Bolero is in this rhythm.
