Dancing Into Empty Space

The Hair Fairy

A princess of the court, if she likes, can even turn a town centre square into a dressing room, so it wasn’t just a coincidence that Silvia tied everyone’s hair into stacked braids.

Alternate Verdi Theatre

Well, there’s no secret about today! The Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna” was to take part in the dance festival “Danzando il Natale” (“Dancing Christmas”) to be staged in the newly restored Verdi Theatre in Casciana Terme on Sunday, December 15, 2019.

Times and Seasons

Thirty-one years ago, always in the month of December, we were here in Casciana Terme, Tuscany, Italy for quite different reasons than today! Much is changed, but, above all, it has changed the climate, for then it was a cold winter, while today it feels more like a warm spring day...

Viola Rocchini, ballerina and teacher of Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”, flew to Brussels, Belgium together with her mother for a two-day shopping expedition into the Christmas markets all around the city, thus significantly increasing the European demand for decorations and package wrapping!
