Traditional dances in the Eivissa Town Hall

The Cloister of the Eivissa Town Hall, situated in Dalt Vila, is the scene every Friday as from 9.30 p.m. of demonstrations of traditional dances from Eivissa by the Colla de Vila and la Colla de Sa Bodega. The demonstrations have free entry and will continue until October.

The shows are a perfect opportunity, for residents and tourists visiting the city, to get to know the typical Ibizan dances –"la curta", "la llarga", "la filera"...– passed down through the centuries.

The dances are accompanied by short explanations about the origin and meaning of each dance, the instruments (drum, flute, castanets...), ladies dress and menswear.

The night is completed with the share out of traditional Ibizan liquor distilled from local herbs and doughnuts.
