The fun starts on Saturday at lunchtime with traditional folk singing around the table, followed by group music sessions and impromptu jam sessions – young musicians are encouraged to join in!
LO STIVALE CHE BALLA
Born in Milan in 2010, 'Lo Stivale che Balla' aims to promote, disseminate, and enhance traditional folk dance. Our group consists of passionate dancers, musicians, and enthusiasts.
We're thrilled to announce that they'll be leading the Italian Folk Dance workshop at our festival! Join us!"
FOLKORISTI
The Folkoristi Choir was founded in 2005 by a group of friends passionate about folk dance. The repertoire features traditional folk songs and world music, taking you on a musical journey around the globe.
Until 2023, the choir was led by Maestro Ryoko Takano. Since October 2024, Maestro Martina Zambelli, vocalist and wind instrumentalist with Cuater2, has taken the helm.
Our focus is on singing in harmony with dancers, always striving for beauty and joy. We're a laid-back, amateur group and welcome new members.
Join us every Tuesday at ARCI Nova in Nova Milanese (MB) from 9:15 PM to 11:00 PM. Rehearsals are open to all!
FOLK DANCING ON STILTS
The Balsuitrampolifolk project was born from an idea by Teatro dell'Equinozio, which involved some enthusiasts of traditional folk dances and music in an experimental project. This innovative combination brings together the experience and creativity of urban theater with the social spirit and joy of people who dance. The goal of this new project is to thrill and engage the audience in dance, making them an active part of the show. The audience is invited to participate by dancing alongside the trampolinists, following a few reference couples on the ground.
