Costumes for the "Ball de Gitanes".

Our country is full of traditions, where music and dance unite neighbors on holidays. One of these traditions is the »Ball de Gitanes" in Catalonia or the "Dansa de la carxofa o Ball de les magranes" in the Valencian Community, where castanets, bells and dresses with a lot of flight are the protagonists.

It is a series of choreographies danced in pairs, where several characters appear, each with their own costumes. According to tradition, it is a dance that takes place close to Carnival, although many municipalities also dance it during the Fiestas Mayores, which last from spring to autumn.

While it is true that each colla or esbart -the name given to the dance groups- chooses its own combination and colors, there is a certain pattern in these sets.

Women wear a two-piece dress with shirt or T-shirt on top, skirt with ruffle and belt. It can also be accompanied with an embroidered shawl.

For his part, the man wears a white or black shirt and pants, and depending on the dance or the region, can be accompanied by a vest, a red satin bow or a sash, among others.
