Silvia is a fantastic dance teacher. She dances with her heart and soul, and she really manages to convey all of this to her students. ❤️ The place is super welcoming and both Fabio and Silvia make you feel right at home immediately. They really do everything to make your experience as beautiful as possible. I will definitely be back! Heartfelt thanks for this wonderful experience. ♥️✨
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful review. ❤️ We’re so happy that you loved our Pizzica dance class in Puglia and, above all, that you felt the passion and soul behind this traditional Apulian dance. For Silvia, teaching Pizzica Pizzica is a way to share a piece of our culture and the history of Puglia through music, movement, and emotion. We’re also so happy that you felt at home with us. Creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere is a big part of our authentic Pizzica experience, we want our guests not only to learn the traditional steps of Pizzica, but to truly feel the energy, joy, and spirit of this beautiful Apulian tradition. Knowing that you’re already planning to come back makes us incredibly happy! ❤️ We’ll be waiting for you for another evening of Pizzica, music, dancing, and authentic Puglian hospitality!
Beautiful experience and beautiful location. Silvia was very kind and knew how to put me at ease. I highly recommend it!!
Siamo felicissimi di sapere che ti sia piaciuta la nostra lezione di pizzica in Puglia e che tu ti sia sentita a tuo agio fin dal primo momento. ❤️ Per noi la pizzica non significa essere ballerini perfetti: significa lasciarsi andare, divertirsi, sentire il ritmo e scoprire una delle danze tradizionali più vivaci della Puglia. Creare un’atmosfera rilassata e accogliente, dove tutti possano sentirsi liberi di ballare, è una parte importante dell’esperienza. Siamo anche felicissimi che ti sia piaciuta la location! Grazie per aver consigliato la nostra esperienza di pizzica a Ostuni, è stato un piacere ballare insieme a te! 💃🏻❤️
I spent the evening at Senti La Puglia with a group of 15 women as part of a retreat we hosted in Puglia. We could not have had a better experience!! Silvia, Fabio, and the team guided us through a beautiful cultural experience. Silvia is a wonderful, gifted teacher who taught us the significance of Pizzica. It was a joy to see the women in our group of all ages dancing so freely. The food was incredible; mozzarella was made in front of us. One woman said it was the best cheese she’s ever had! The team catered to several dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian), and that food was delicious as well! Even dessert! As we drank wine, we had live music and Silvia danced for us. It was an evening of celebration.. the fresh food, music, dancing, laughter—something this group will never forget. If you’re interested in an authentic, beautiful experience of Puglia, this is a must!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this incredible review! It was truly an honor to welcome your group and be part of such a special retreat in Puglia. Seeing your group of women of all ages connect through music, dance, food, and our local traditions was a beautiful and unforgettable moment for us as well. We are so happy that Silvia’s pizzica class allowed everyone to experience the joy, freedom, and energy of this ancient dance. Sharing the stories and meaning behind pizzica is just as important as learning the steps. Thank you for appreciating the care we put into every detail, from the traditional food and local products to making sure every guest could enjoy the experience, regardless of dietary needs. Creating a moment where everyone feels included and welcomed is something we truly value. Your words mean so much to us. Knowing that this evening will remain a special memory for your group is the greatest reward we could receive. We hope to welcome you back to Puglia one day for more moments of music, laughter, tradition, and connection!
We chose this pizzica lesson during a bachelorette party in Puglia, and it was one of the most beautiful moments of the weekend. From the very first minute, we felt welcomed with enthusiasm, energy, and a great passion for this authentic tradition. The lesson was engaging, fun, and suitable even for those, like us, who had never danced the pizzica before. It was not just about learning steps, but truly experiencing a piece of Apulian culture. Silvia was excellent in conveying not only the technique but also the soul and history of this folk dance, creating a spontaneous and special atmosphere. For a bachelorette party, it was a perfect activity: original, exciting, and capable of bringing everyone together. We had so much fun and will carry this memory with us for a long time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Grazie mille! E' proprio vero, è l'esperienza perfetta per un gruppo di ragazze che scelgono di trascorrere l'addio al nubilato in Puglia e siamo cosi felici di avervi avuti con noi. Un abbraccio e speriamo di rivedervi non appena ritornerete
Super nice experience. Well organised a must do when you're in Ostuni. We participated as a group of 4 and were all excited about the program.
Thank you so much! We work every day to offer you experiences to remember
