Argentine folk dances & tortafritas making

Val-d'Illiez

Take an afternoon trip to South America with this workshop....

Participants will be accompanied in the making of the “tortafritas” dough, watch them being baked and receive a theoretical introduction to Argentinian folk dances, explaining the links with the various regions and currents.

Participants will then be guided step-by-step through the typical positions and basic movements of these dances, enabling them to try out two popular dances: the “Chacarera” and the “Gato”.

A well-deserved break will allow them to taste the “Tortafritas” accompanied by the famous mate. The tasting will be followed by an introduction to the “Zamba” dance, where you’ll learn how to use the scarf and the significance of its movements.

Practical information:
– Participants with prior knowledge of Argentine folk dances will be offered more sophisticated exercises.
– No previous notion of dance is necessary, just curiosity!

Equipment required:
– Comfortable clothes for dancing
– Shoes that allow the foot to pivot on the floor (non-slip shoes)
– A square scarf measuring approx. 40x40cm

Reservations possible until 5:00 p.m. the day before the event.
