After the great success of the #thepugliaencounter workshop we thought about giving us a gift and planning the next workshop in Apulia #thepugliaepiphany. We were directly inspired by the etymological meaning of the term epiphany of Greek origin, ἐπιφαίνω, epiphany, to manifest ourselves. To make us bright and free with the pizzica dance and more generally the traditional dance of Puglia, a dance born to free the soul, heart and mind. To begin the new year leaving behind all the sadness of the previous one. To release our energy with our dance, to make our lights fly high, to be curious together with new friends waiting to have fun together.

#Thepugliaepiphany  is waiting for you!
