Regarding Sardana dance...
The name SARDANA refers to a popular Catalan dance, where people conform a ring united by their raised arms. Oldest records about Sardana are from year 1552. However, its origins are not so clear:
Version 1: astronomical dance:
- 24 compass times (like the hours of the day),
- The sound of a instrument called “flabiol” at the beginning is like the song of a rooster (cock) indicating the beginning of the day,
- Short steps (calm and slow) are referred to the first hours of the day (there are 8 of them)
- Long steps (with the maximum jumping) mean the middle of the day (16 of them)
- Empuries (Greek colony)
- War against Turkey in Greece (Middle Age)
- Sardenya island (Italy)
- or Cerdanya (Catalonia Nord-France)
