Argentine folk dances & tortafritas making

Val-d'Illiez

Take an afternoon trip to South America with this workshop.

In a friendly atmosphere, you’ll 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 trends.

You will then be guided step by step through the typical positions and basic movements of these dances, enabling you to try out one of the most popular dances: the “Chacarera”.

A well-deserved break will allow you to taste the “Tortafritas” accompanied by the famous mate. This tasting will be followed by an introduction to the “Bailecito” 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, only curiosity.
