Sicilian tarantella course Giardini Naxos and Taormina

In fact, tarantella is danced to traditional music notes that bring to mind the ancient times of authentic Sicily.

Symbol of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies, the term tarantella derives from taranta, a word that indicated a poisonous spider whose bite pushed the victim to agitated and frenetic movements … which then inspired the dance!
