We regularly organise dance events in medieval settings, as well as dance courses in winter.
Historical Dance Theatre "A l'entrada" is a non-profit artistic organization engaged in research and perfomance of old European dance, vocal music and theatre from the Middle Ages to the mid twentieth century. The main goal of the theatre is to immerse spectators into the wonderful world of historical ball, bringing a fairy tale to the modern life. Beautiful costumes, live music, singing, acting, juggling and, off course, dancing are the main components of "A l'entrada's" perfomances. La Vida en Público!
