Spanish bullfighting has a long history. In the Neolithic rock paintings found in the Altamira Caves, there are depictions of people fighting bulls. Julius Caesar, who ruled Spain, is said to have fought bulls on horseback. For about six hundred years after that, bullfighting was the exclusive sport of the Spanish aristocracy to show their bravery. In the 18th century, when the Bourbons ruled Spain, the first king, Felipe V, banned bullfighting for the nobility, and this traditional aristocratic sport came from the courts to the people. Everywhere in Spain, bullfighting is used instead of marching. It is a dance that evolved as a result of the influence of bullfighting. The brass band above the entrance of the bullfighting arena always plays a marching song, which is the so-called bullfighting music in Spain, and it is this music that inspired the formation of the bullfighting dance. It is also because of this music that the bullfighting theater itself is inspired. In short, bullfighting is an interpretation of bullfighting; the male dancers can be compared to bullfighters, while the female dancers represent the red capes used to attract the attention of the bulls. The categorization of bullfighting as a Latin American dance is incredible because it is purely European and of Spanish origin.
