Where we come fromWhere we gohistoria
In September 1965, a group of people, mostly women, got together and decided to form a group of dancers to dance in Urretxu and for Urretxu; with the aim of propagating the local national folklore, starting from a cultural point of view and leaving aside mythification.
Since then, a great effort has been made to investigate the customs and uses in order to take the necessary steps to fulfill the initial intention as well as possible. In order to face the repression that existed at that time towards any Basque cultural expression, the group stood firm in the defense of its basic ideas, and thanks to a lot of hard work, they managed to achieve the initially agreed objectives.

New seedsin old groundschool
In addition to the group formed by the elderly, we also give classes so that anyone who wants to learn Basque dances. Every Friday we dance with boys and girls from 4 to 17 years old. Each group learns one or two dances, and then, in spring, they dance in the street in the Dantzari Txikis that are organized. On Mondays, however, it is adults who have the opportunity to learn arin-arin, fandango and other popular dances.
