You know, I can do some fancy footwork myself, but this is fantastic, and such a great way to keep culture alive.

+2 Travel Dads blog (The Taylors) Oh really ? So great ! Basque people are very proud of their culture. Recently they have decided to make a lot to revive old traditions : as basque language was forbidden, a lot of traditions disappeared. Now, we even have some special schools called ikastola, where they only teach in the basque language. And new legends are mixed with the new ones...

Quel jeu de jambes! Very impressive, especially when they jumped on the glass without breaking it!

+Ze Wandering Frogs I'm always more impressed by zamalzain, especially as he goes on the glass. But someone told me the most difficult dress to jump around the glass is the skirt : impossible to see the foot at all...

Fun! It was great to see them jump on the glass and not break it!

+FunFamilyVacations Sometimes they break it, sometimes they don't :-D

Amazing. Loved the bit where he jumped on the glass. It was a glass right?

[@StephanieEthnoTravels]

+Beautifully Travelled Yes, this is a glass... full of wine ! You can guess that his objective is to stay on the glass without breaking it. The objective for everyone is to keep the whole wine inside the glass.

+Beautifully Travelled Another very interesting thing in this dance from the basque province of Soule is Zamalzain, the horseman. The tribes of central India have exactly the same !
