Italy

Suggested Track - Tarantella, Mulberry Street

Target Age - KS2

Performed - Ideally Duet, Can be adapted to Solo

For this session of ‘Dance Around the World’ we will be visiting Italy, to learn a Tarantella.

It won’t surprise you to find out that this dance owes its name to the tarantula, and the hysteria of Taratism caused by its bite. The only cure to this condition apparently being a frenzied dance, now often performed at events and celebrations, often accompanied with a tambourine.

This dance is high energy and fast-paced. This lesson is choreographed to be performed as a duet, but it can also be altered to work as a solo.
