    What To Expect

    The silent, centenary olive trees and the Murgia countryside will be our scenario for this
    incredible experience: dancing the Tarantella and the Pizzica-Pizzica, typical dances of our tradition means lots more than moving rhythmically.
    The typical double step, the sound of tambourines, the circles around an imaginary altar in a crescendo euphoria to release the spider's poison, of a local black widow, the Tarantula, that caused men and women become crazy. The dance was the only cure.
    Among the dance steps we will discover stories and legends handed
    down from the mist of time, the rituals, the role of a scarf as the results of modern academic researches on an uncommon phenomenon.
    An exciting experience in the heart of Puglia and a final tasting in the countryside.

    We will teach you the steps, the passion and the history of a dance that has become famous all over the world and now celebrated with the Festival della Taranta in Melendugno (Lecce), an international event.

    At the end, a restorative and relaxing moment with a tasting of typical products and local wine. Kid Friendly.
    We recommend to wear long dress or a long skirt. White, red and black are typical colors. No flip flops.
