M° Lello Di Prizio
(Dance Lab)

Passionate about dance, he's studied classical music and has then dedicated himself to the study and practice of folk dances. After following for years the folk festivals in which the hand drum accompanied songs were the principal musical expression, he's learned the several traditional styles of dance by the performers themselves. His interest is not solely focussed on the tammurriata, but also on the several tarantellas like the Montemaranese and the Pizzica Tarantata.
