ITaLIan TaranTeLLa DanCe
Sat (Nov 10), Beginning 9:15 PM
Location: Big Tent
The tarantella dance is a lively folk dance performed to a distinct, upbeat musical style. The name
“tarantella” is derived from the city of Taranto in Southern Italy where the dance is believed to have
originated in the 15th century. The name of the tarantula spider comes from the town of Taranto as
well. The choreography and name of the dance are based on an old folk belief about the effect of a
poisonous spider bite. It was believed that when someone was bitten by the tarantula, the only cure
would be to dance the poison out of his/her system. For this reason, many consider the tarantella
to be a healing or medicinal dance. Dance scholars offer various interpretations into the origins and
meanings of the tarantella.
Enjoy a lively performance by the Sussex Dance Academy students as choreographed by Academy
Director Kate Downes Walker. Audience members may bring their Italian rhythm to the dance floor and
learn a basic variation of this festive dance.
