A way to feel even closer, despite the many kilometers away, a miracle that art and music always manage to achieve.

Edenlandia will be a particular stage because there are within it many rides and entertainment opportunities and to taste tasty food like the famous one fried staple and cotton candy and, between a moment of fun and the next, we will let ourselves be enchanted by the sinuous movements of the guest dancers and their engaging rhythms.
The program of dances
September 15 - Hip Hop
The first appointment is with hip hop and the Bronx neighborhood of New York. Here this genre was born in the 70s and the heart of the movement are the Block Parties, that is, street parties in which African Americans and Latin Americans danced together. The dances will be organized by the Unconditional Love for DAcnehall school in Naples, dedicated to Jamaican culture.
September 16 - Flamenco
Flamenco tells us about Andalusia and is a dance born at the end of the 700th century as a way to vent joys and sorrows. In flamenco there are music, dance and a song that can seem out of tune, all performed without a guitar, but with rhythmic support of the body such as the beating of the feet on the ground or the knuckles of the hands on a table. At Edenlandia there will be the dancer, teacher and choreographer Manuela Iannelli who trained with great international flamenco masters.
September 17 - Tango
The third appointment is with the tango, born in Argentina. The origins of this name are unknown, but it was considered a sinful dance by the Christian religion. There will be the tango dogs Oxana Matskevich and Vincenzo Caiazzo, also excellent teachers.
September 23 - Salsa
The name of this dance derives from the "mixture" of rhythms and sounds. It is a Caribbean dance born in New York in the Puerto Rican neighborhood in the early 60s. It develops in various styles that differ in gestures, techniques and figures and at Edenlandia we will be delighted by Anna De Biase's students.
September 24 - Tarantella
The tarantella will be the protagonist of this stage. It is a dance that we know well in Naples and which probably has its origins in the province of Taranto. It is perhaps the best known Italian dance abroad and its name derives from “taranta”, a poisonous spider also widespread in the Taranto countryside and the dance is linked to the bite therapy of this animal. At the Festival there will be Flora Scarpati, Federica Sibio and Michela De Felice, professional dancers of the MIA DANZA ASD association.
September 29 - Belly dance
Belly dance was born in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and in the Arab countries and best represents femininity, vitality and sensuality. Its origin dates back to the religious ceremonies practiced in Mesopotamia by women in honor of the mother-goddess Ishtar. The Festival will host Maria "Shisha", a scholar and enthusiast of popular and oriental dances who will perform in a sensual dance to the notes of the violinist Edo Notarloberti.
September 30 - Capoeira
The last date is with Capoeira, a dance from Bahia, Brazil. More than a dance it is a martial art with musical expressive elements characterized by harmonious movements. It mixes fight and dance and derives from the practices of some African tribes and Portuguese colonies. It contributes to the formation of character in a joyful environment, in fact it is also a pedagogical tool. In Naples, the teachers Giovanni Coraggio (aka Tatù) and Fernando da Silva (aka Alemão) use it for the recovery of street children.
