Learn Italian Folk Dances
The Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere79 Howard AvenueLearn Italian Folk Dances – a participatory cultural program
Tuesday, May 9, 7 pm
Galleria with a ViewEnjoy an evening of folklore, music and dance! The Tammurriata (ta-more-ee-ah-tah) is a folk dance from Naples, Italy. It has roots in ancient times and is still done today to honor La Madonna on her feast days. This isn’t the kind of dance you’re supposed to sit back and watch – the rhythm is too strong!
Guests will learn simple steps which can be done by nearly all ages and abilities, thanks to a variety of moves such as jumping and leaping, or graceful chair dancing like a Principessa. It’s danced in a circle, or in pairs. Three folk dance versions will be taught: the ancient dance for Abundance, the Courtship dance, and La Scherma— the Street Fighting dance!
