SEIS
Seis
The
seis is a type of
Puerto Rican dance music, related to
décima. It originated in the later half of the 17th century in the southern part of
Spain. The word means
six, which may have come from the custom of having six couples perform the dance, though many more couples eventually became quite common. Men and women form separate lines down the hall or in an open place of beaten earth, one group facing the other. The lines would approach and cross each other and at prescribed intervals the dancers would tap out the rhythm with their feet.
