Cultural society directed by Fabio Mòllica
Nineteenth Century Dance School
"Società di Danza" is a Federation of 'Circoli', groups and individuals that agree with the Manifesto, the System of dance and the Educational Material
It performs historical research on Nineteenth Century and Historical dances.
The society aims at reconstructing a dance system belonging to the European tradition. The dances are: quadrilles, country dances, waltzes, polkas and mazurkas.
We aim at reasearching the artistic technique that in the Nineteenth Century made these dances especially important for the dancing masters and not only mass enjoyment.
The Società di Danza is an affiliated group of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society.
