STUDENTS WILL LEARN THE FOLLOWING RHYTHMS AND DANCE RITUALS: TAMMORRIATA A powerful rhythm set to an African beat played in 4/4 time in honor of the black Madonna, originally ancient rites for the Earth Goddess Cybele. It accompanies a sensual dance from Naples danced with castanets to the rhythm of the large drum called Tammorra. RITMO E DANZA DI SAN ROCCO (SPINNING DANCE) This dance, originating in Calabria during the Middle Ages. It was danced during the time of the plague to help people release the overpowering fear of death.
