DANZA CUECA BOLIVIANA
This rhythm is a lively form with a relatively strict structure, which may also be accompanied by a couples' courting dance. The origins of the dance are perhaps linked to the Spanish "seguidilla" and the actual form of the dance resembles the modern spanish "Sevillana", complete with the four phases of the courtship: the Meeting, the Seduction, the Dispute, and the Reconciliation. Also in a three or six beat format, the underlying accents are similar but not quite the same as in the Bailecito. There is, however a closer semblance to the "chacarera". The cueca has a number of regional variants from Bolivia and Chile, however the most commonly found is variant from western Argentina.
