Laboratorio di Tarantella Calabrese Reggitana con Francesco Nicastro

pizzica.me - APS and L'ARTE DI TERSICORE A.S.D. are delighted to invite all lovers of tarantella and traditional folk music to a Reggitana Tarantella workshop with Francesco Nicastro.

Are you ready to be swept away by the rhythm and energy of the Aspromonte Rota?

On Saturday, 14 November 2026, in Bari, we will have the pleasure of welcoming master Francesco Nicastro, who is coming directly from Reggio Calabria to guide us on a journey into this fascinating folk tradition.

An opportunity to discover, explore and experience firsthand the steps, rhythms and distinctive features of one of the most engaging expressions of Calabrian traditional culture.

🥁 WHAT WILL WE DO TOGETHER?

During the workshop, Francesco will introduce us to some ethnocoreological aspects of Calabrian tarantelle and teach us the most characteristic and traditional figures of the Reggitana dance, including dancing in couples inside the Rota, following the instructions of the Mastro da ballo (dance master), a central figure in guiding the dance.

In some small villages in the Aspromonte hinterland, such as Cardeto, Mosorrofa and Cataforio, older generations still dance all'usu anticu (in the old traditional style), performing figures such as the Passu puntatu, accompanied by the sound of the zampogna (traditional Italian bagpipe).
