Listen "The Rhythm of Tradition"
Episode Synopsis
We explore the surprising connection between two powerful expressions of Italian culture: food and dance. Our guest, Anna Harsh—award-winning choreographer and founder of Allegro Dance Company—has spent her life preserving traditional Italian dances that, like regional recipes, are passed down through generations. We talk about how movement and mealtime often go hand-in-hand at Italian celebrations, how regional cuisine has similarities to dance, and how both food and dance tell stories of heritage, family, and joy. If Italian food feeds the body, traditional dance feeds the soul—and together, they keep the spirit of Italianità alive.Visit the Allegro Dance Company website!
