The show “How it is danced”, scheduled for Friday June 5, will be one of the highlights. It carries a theatrical message about traditional ballroom dancing with live music. Organizer of this Setmana Occitana, the Monein media library will be the scene of these activities also involving the school public, but also the elders of the nursing home, living memories of Occitan culture.
The media library square will host traditional music and dance during the week. Hervé Pouyau
