-Country dance
The term "Country Dance" was first coined in print by John Playford of London in 1651. It is a generic term for a social dance form in which two or more couples dance together in a set.
Country dancing is generally recognised to be a form of folk dance, that is a traditional dance of the people, it should be clearly understood that it is a dance for participation rather than demonstration.
* Its participatory nature sets country dancing apart from folk dance dance forms such as Clogging- which is primarily demonstration dancing.
Shawms and sackbuts or the bagpipe were popular instruments for outdoor dancing because of their loudness.

-Tango dance
Tango dance originated in the area of the Rio de la Plata (which is between Argentina and Uruguay), and spread to the rest of the world soon after. Tango is a dance from European and African culture.. Initially it was just one of the many dances, but it soon became popular throughout society, as theatres and street barrel organs spread it from the suburbs to the working-class slums, which were packed with hundreds of thousands of European immigrants, primarily Italians, Spanish and French.

-Salsa dance
Salsa is a Latin dance form with origins from the Cuban Son. It is generally associated with the salsa music style, although it may be danced under other types of Latin music. Salsa is a popular social dance throughout Latin America as well as in North America, Europe, Australia, and some countries in Asia and the Middle East.

are also men who sing. They play different types of music, for example a
Pasodoble... Normally they begin with music for the old people, and end with
music for young people.
PRICES
It is a card, which serves to enter to the festivities free, but you have to pay for then 30 € approximately. Retired people and young children pay less. Inside this card are included the following festivities: end of year, Carnival, san Juan and festivities of Carmen.
THE "PALCOS"
The Palcos are lines painted on the ground with a number for each group of friends. This place is permanent for all the festivities in this town. If someone does not like the “palco” that he has, he can switch to another, but both must agree. If someone occupies the “palco” does not belong to them, they will go to tell them to go out politely.

obriu la piscina municipal tan tard?
-Why do you open the

que es millor obrir-la despres de festes, ja que avans de festes hi
ha col·legi, i el que em decidit es obrir-la despres de festes.

believe it is better to open after the festivals because before there
is school, and I have decided to open after the festivities.

poli esportiu?

brigada municipal sencarrega d’unes coses, i entre tots. Aprofito
per demanar la col·laboració de la gent de l’Ampolla, per a
mantindre les instal·lación netes, perque em trobat gent que menja
pipes i agraïriem que la gent no ho fes.
-
The municipal brigade assumes responsibility for
some things, and all between. I take the advantage to request the
cooperation of the people from l'Ampolla, to keep the facilities
clean, because I found people who ate sunflower seeds and appreciate
that people do not do it.
-Com és que està
tant malament el camp de futbol?
-Why is the football
pitch so bad?
-
Perque es una instal·lació antiga, i la nostra intenció es
reformar-lo, pero com sabeu hi ha una crisis molt important i no hi

it is an old installation, and our intention is to reform it, but as
you know there is a very important crisis and we haven’t money.
-Per tot el poble
heu posat zona blava, per què ho heu fet?
- Around the town
there is a blue area, why did you do it?
-Perque
l’Ampolla es un poble turistic, i el mes de juriol i agost be molta
gent que el que fa es aparcar el cotxe i no el trau fins al cap d’un
mes. LLavor em pensat que seria bo dinamitzar aquesta zona. Creiem
que pot creat conflictes, però ho em fet en tota la intenció del
món.
- Because
l'Ampolla is a tourist town, and in the months of August and July
there are many people who don’t take the car in the car park for a
month. Then I thought that it would revitalize the area. We believe
that conflicts can be created, but we didn’t intend to.
-La gent està
dacord? O en contra?

agree? Or are they against?
-Hi
ha gent en contra, i gent a favor.

l’Ampolla?

any hi ha 2 discoteques mòbil, i les festes de l’Ampolla són molt
curtes, ademes tenim la Mediterrania que durant tot l’estiu està
