4. Introduction to the sardana

Enter the dance!
True symbol of Catalonia, let yourself be tempted by the sardana, this dance that makes the Catalan people vibrate. A convivial and unifying dance, it takes its rhythm with the musical group (a cobla) that accompanies it. The Foment de la Sardana de Banyuls offers you an initiation to share this dance moment hand in hand. Rendezvous every Thursday in July and August on the Paul Reig square from 9pm.
