TRADITIONAL SALENTO DANCES PIZZICA and TARANTELLA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Puglia has its own unique rhythms - tarantella and pizzica (a kind of tarantella). These rhythms are heard at weddings, in squares in the summer, in Apulian masserias and at festivals. But the pizza comes from sunny Salento, where every year on August 26 the largest dance and music festival \u201cLa notte della Taranta\u201d takes place gathering over 100.000 spectators!<\/span>

\n<\/span>Pizzica is a very ancient dance, because in the past people thought that women who were brought by a spider (tarantula), had hysterical and similar to convulsions movements. The close relatives of the \u201ctarantolata\u201d woman carried her in some squares or in churches, and at the rhythm of pizzica she began to dance was brought to cure the effect of the spider\u2019s poison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pizzica pizzica is a lively pair dance. The tradition says that one of many varieties of pizzica is a courtship dance, when a woman, moving her body and dancing to the rhythm of tambourines, coquets with her partner and allows a man to court her.<\/span><\/p>\n
