ETHNO PORT 2026 | Dance and Percussion Workshops: with Vigüela
Zamek Cesarski w Poznaniu, Poznań
Dance and percussion workshops with Vigüela will take place on 13 June 2026 at 11:00 on the Castle Courtyard of the ZAMEK Culture Centre in Poznań, as part of the Ethno Port 2026 Festival.
The meeting will begin with a presentation of the most important traditional dance forms from the central Iberian Peninsula – jota, fandango, seguidilla and sonu – through brief demonstrations of each. Participants will also learn about the instruments used in this music, their functions and history: which ones belong to centuries-old traditions and which appeared relatively recently and why.
The second part of the workshop will focus on basic dance elements, with special emphasis on the jota and its two main parts: the refrain and the verse. At the end, participants will be able to take on the role of performers themselves – playing, dancing or combining both forms of activity.
