Dance Society it is a cultural association that studies and proposes the repertoire of nineteenth-century social dances. It carries out a historical research work in this sector combining philological precision in the interpretation of old dance manuals with the possibility of recreating, giving new life, ancient dances in contemporary social contexts.
It was born in 1991 from an idea of Fabio Mollica: to create a school and a cultural association together, with the aim of developing a social dance culture based on the study of the past, but projected into the future. Participation in the event is open to all, with free admission, for further information the contact address is cooperazione.internazionale@crivarese.it.
