Who knows anything about modern dance in amsterdam?

Nobody knows when the sardana originated, but it has been popular since the 16th century. Some believe the sardana is two thousand years old, but such theories have few adherents. Modern choreography was established as late as the end of the 19th century and features slight differences from the original North-Catalonian dance. Pep Ventura's band is credited for stabilizing different variants around a clear 6/8 rhythm and fixing the instrumental ensemble. Though some Iberian and Mediterranean circle dances follow similar patterns, instrumental music for sardana has achieved a complexity of its own. As a non-performance dance, sardana does not need special fitness. Moreover, the circle can be opened to a highly variable number of dancers.
