The traditional dances from southern Italy participating in mood, ambiance and joie de vivre of that culture plunge. The fascination and beauty of these dances is caused by the power of expression and by the coexistence of the dancing. It is the mutual force measurement, eroticism and passion as well as the playful interaction of dancers. Three different dances from southern Italy are taught in this workshop: the Pizzica and tarantella del Gargano in Puglia, as well as the Tammuriata from Campania.
