An unusual experience in Lecce - My husband and I signed up for the Pizzica class with Enrica and it was a great experience. Not only did we learn the basics of a traditional Salento dance, but Enrica also told us the story of this dance and told us many anecdotes about the region. We finally shared a convivial moment around an aperitif. We highly recommend this activity with the very friendly Enrica! 💃

Great class! - The class was great. There was water, wine, and apertivos, and it was a fun class. You're able to pick up on the pizzica steps whether or not you've danced before when Enrica walks you through it. I only wish I had taken video of us dancing the pizzica! Definitely recommend this class!

Pizzica in Puglia! - Thank you Enrica for such a fun and immersive Pizzica class! I enjoyed learning the steps and also the background of the history of the dance, the folk traditions, and your joy in sharing this exciting dance form. The aperitif and local snacks were also very nice! Grazie mille!!

A fun night out! - We had an awesome time! Doing the Oizzica dance is an Italian folk dance at festivals, weddings, any kind of celebration. The music is lively and energetic, so fun to learn. Our instructor was great, very personable, professional and made everyone have a good time; singles and couples.

Amazing Experience!! - I had the pleasure of immersing myself in a traditional dance class in Salento and the experience was nothing short of magical! Enrica (teacher) was amazing!! Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I not only learned the dance steps but also gained a deeper understanding of the cultural significance and heritage behind each movement. If you are a curious traveler seeking to immerse yourself in local culture, this class offer a unique opportunity to connect with the rhythmic heartbeat of Salento!

Fun, a lot! - The pizzica is a very engaging dance and our teacher, Enrica Sparasci, was excellent for an hour: she taught us the fundamental steps, danced them with us, explained the meaning and use of this Salento dance. All with big smiles in a cheerful atmosphere. We were three students, we worked hard. we had a lot of fun. I definitely recommend it. P.s. they write that you can dance until you are 100!!! I confirm, I don't have a hundred, but I'm a senior and yes, you can dance at any age.

Bachelorette party cancelled - Ruined bachelorette party! Although we had booked a week in advance the pizzica lesson, the organization wanted to cancel everything at the last minute, and also the course the next day. Avoid entrusting important tasks to this organizer because it is unpredictable and not suitable for making serious plans.
