The Dances You’ll Learn
Tarantella (Southern Italy)
The iconic folk dance of Southern Italy — energetic, rhythmic, and deeply communal. Danced in pairs or groups, it celebrates joy, life, and connection.
Pizzica (Puglia)
A captivating dance from the Salento region of Puglia. Rooted in ancient ritual, Pizzica is expressive, earthy, and deeply personal — a dance of healing and release.
Tammorriata (Campania)
A powerful drum-driven dance from the Campania region. Tammorriata is raw, grounded, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the tammorra drum.
