History - Part 2
Elai-Alai dance and music group is part of the traditional culture centre, which aims to accomplish the instruction of individuals and the development and disclosure of traditional culture, contributing towards the promotion and progress of our culture.
Elai-Alai gears its mission towards the re-education on our roots, training musicians, dancers, craftspeople… Day by day our society pushes us into a purely lucrative culture, which does not take into account the things that make us be ourselves, the things that identify us as we are and as we will be in the future.
Along the way, we have achieved some very important goals. Among them, the International Folklore Festival, the traditional culture encounters, the music and dance group, the traditional folklore fair, the dance and music school…
The group has produced many choreographies and shows, such as "SUSTRAIAK", "SALAZAR", "LEHEN ORAIN ETA BETI", and "SANTIAGO". In the background of these shows there is a clear evolution of both technical and choreographic aspects which we make an effort to adapt to the present times, so that our culture can be integrated in the new century, and not become obsolete.
