Recupero e trasformazione nella pizzica-pizzica

The pizzica pizzica is a folk dance originally from the Salento (southern
Apulia Region, Italy), and, in the last decades, its rediscovery has
encouraged its knowledge not only locally, but also internationally. The
revival of folk music of Salento, the media success of the festival "Night of
the Taranta" and the increase of tourism in the town of Apulia where the
event is held have also fostered the creation of courses to learn this dance,
often conducted by female performers of this traditional dance and songs.
However, the recovery and the re-proposal of this dance lack the traditional
structure supporting the introduction of new meanings and, in fact, a new
form of dancing.
