It most closely resembles an ancestral ritual, likely later Christianized by the Catalans. In this case, the man does not jump but moves with the female dancer, maintaining a certain symmetry and always following a choreography based on circular forms. It is the only dance where there is slight physical contact between the dancers. It most makes us think of a wedding ceremony where the newlyweds perform a series of symmetrical turns, moving away and approaching each other. When they meet in the center, they join at the elbows. From the sixth turn, the woman shows the rings, a gift from the groom. The dance concludes with a Llarga, in which all guests join.       <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-644df802 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"644df802\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f643b1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f643b1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WANT TO SEE IT LIVE?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bb1916 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1bb1916\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7949bcf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7949bcf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bd233f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9bd233f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Consult the dance directory<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-033fafc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"033fafc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/ballpages.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/calendari-ballades-federacio.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1166\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ballpages.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/calendari-ballades-federacio.png 1280w, https:\/\/ballpages.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/calendari-ballades-federacio-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/ballpages.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/calendari-ballades-federacio-1024x608.png 1024w, https:\/\/ballpages.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/calendari-ballades-federacio-768x456.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cccc586 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cccc586\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Experience Ball Pag\u00e8s live \u2014 consult the calendar of well dances and popular dances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b10f6e elementor-align-center elementor-mobile-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1b10f6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/ballpages.cat\/activitats\/ballades\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"12\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 12\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M17.3975 0.469731C17.6721 0.19519 18.1068 0.177586 18.4014 0.417973L18.458 0.469731L23.5205 5.53223C23.8133 5.8251 23.8133 6.29991 23.5205 6.59278L18.458 11.6553C18.1652 11.9481 17.6904 11.9481 17.3975 11.6553C17.1046 11.3624 17.1046 10.8876 17.3975 10.5947L21.1797 6.8125H1C0.585786 6.8125 0.25 6.47672 0.25 6.0625C0.25 5.64829 0.585786 5.3125 1 5.3125H21.1797L17.3975 1.53028L17.3457 1.47364C17.1053 1.17905 17.1228 0.744367 17.3975 0.469731Z\" fill=\"inherit\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">View Calendar<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ball Pag\u00e8s: The essence of our folklore Ball Pag\u00e8s is an ancestral dance native to Ibiza and Formentera, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
