Pizzica workshops in Salento teach the energetic folk dance accompanied by traditional instruments like the tamburello and diatonic accordion, rooted in Puglia's rich musical heritage. Participants learn choreographed movements and experience the community spirit of this therapeutic dance tradition that originated as a cure for tarantism, a trance-like condition believed caused by tarantula bites. The workshops offer both structured lessons and spontaneous 'ronde popolari' moments of celebratory community sharing.
