Sebastián Cerezo (also spelled Sebastián Zerezo) [nb 1] was a Spanish dancer from La Mancha. [2] In 1799, he was credited by Zamácola y Ocerín as one of the earliest and best dancers of the bolero, [2] a Spanish dance developed between 1750 and 1772, [2] which became very popular in Madrid, La Mancha, Andalusia and Murcia in the 1780s. [3] [4] According to Zamácola y Ocerín, Cerezo danced slowly and his particular way of dancing marked the definitive transition from seguidilla to bolero (from voleo, cf. vuelo, "flight"). [2] This original slow way of dancing was promoted by Murcian dancer Requejo around 1800 in response to the faster style of bolero dancing that had become popular over the years. [2]
