Traditions Valdôtaines - Aosta
 
Traditions ValdôtainesThe ballets
Our group takes part to many important popular and tourist events in the Aosta Valley and appears in streets exhibitions all over Italy and Europe in the occasion of different folklore festivals. On the average, the group is made of 35 components (exhibitions are staged by 20/25 people). The show, consisting in two or three parts with an maximum length of one hour and a half, takes up the group in a whirl of choreographic ballets, historical dancing from the rural world and court dances from the bourgeoisie of Aosta, accompanied by song in “libre voix”. Popular music is played by accordion and rhythmed by an instrument called fléau, which originally served as a farmer tool at the reaping time to thrash the corn. The other instruments we use are the boeus (a wooden tool used by our forefathers to make the butter), the flute ant the “frustapot”.
Suggested activities: staging shows, parades, street entertainment, school cooperations, exhibitions in tourist and gastronomic stands, etc…

Our activity.
The activity of our society aims to three goals:
- social purpose: to be a reference for our fellow-citizens interested in joining a traditional environment where to learn our land’s values: friendship, welcoming, solidarity, mutual respect and cooperation towards a common achievement;
- cultural purpose: our shows want to transmit the spirit and traditions of our people, staging choral songs, dances, dialect poetry, traditional music by ancient and modern authors;
- tourist promotion: we exhibit abroad in order to let other people know our beautiful mountain region.
Our group has no lucrative purpose and takes part to different events on the simple basis of expenses refunding. We propose many different terms of exchange with other cultural groups and societies.
