There
are three dance academies in our town.
One of the alternatives is the Local Dance School coordinated by professor
Marcelo Urquiza, who works with people between 4 years old and older than
60. This school began two years ago and its objective has been to achieve
a folk ballet that represents our town. The boys participate in Córdoba,
Villa General Belgrano, Laboulaye and Villa Dolores and they also participate
in zonal, regional and provincial competitions. In relation to the adults,
they are formed in traditional and stylized folk. They also participate
in regional festivals. In the case of Tango there are adults and some
teenagers.
Another option for folk dancers is the Academy “Reflejos de Tradición”
which is four years old and her teacher, Emilse Sosa, works with children
between 2 and 13 years old.
Each folk academy offers the possibility to take annual exams to their
students in order to become folk teachers.
Finally, the “Egipcian” school offers the possibility to learn
how to dance Arab, flamengo movements and Cuban rhythms like salsa and
merengue, coordinated by the teacher Jorgelina Oliva. It was inaugurated
on March 2005 and any person can attend it. Their first performances were
carried out in local celebrations.
