In the Balearic Islands there is an ancestral type of typical dance in which the man progressively courts the girl with various movements and jumps around her. All of this is accompanied by music based on primitive instruments, the drum, the two-hole flute and the castanets. The dances usually take place during the patron saint festivities of the villages and in the old wells scattered throughout the countryside, where the peasants traditionally gathered on specific dates.
