SAGAR DANTZA
In the towns of
the Baztan region every year this carnival time dance is
performed. Its origins are uncertain, but it appears to be
a pre-Christian and thus a dance of magic--where the assumption
that the ritual will produce a natural and/or supernatural
effect.

< Our workshop (Oct. 2009) for the
"mutil
dantzak" of the Baztan region of Nafarroa was
conducted by our visiting Basque country instructor
Patxi Larralde who has developed a system for the teaching of
these dances. These workshops are sponsored by
N.A.B.O. and hosted by various Basque clubs.
