A tarantella dancer invites a guest to dance

Learn thetarantella

It's not just for watching: the tarantella sorrentina, the traditional folk dance of Sorrento, is quick to learn and best danced together. We run lessons in the basic steps, pizza school with a tarantella show and dinner shows in Sorrento for groups, families and schools.
