Gran Ballo Occitano

Previous editions

The Occitan dance is a recurring event in the cultural life of Ormea, in the heart of the Upper Tanaro Valley in the province of Cuneo. Included in the region's widespread event series, the gathering has offered afternoons of live music and traditional square dancing, serving as an occasion for celebration and community social life.

Occitan dances represent one of the most authentic expressions of the culture of the Cuneo valleys: corrente, balet, scottish, and gigues are passed down over time and continue to unite different generations on the same dance floor. Past editions have also contributed to keeping this tradition alive, in anticipation of new events on the Ormea calendar.
