The Escola de Música i Danses de Mallorca

The Escola de Música i Danses de Mallorca is a non-profit organisation founded in 1975 by Mr. Bartolomeu Ensenyat Estrany, sponsored by the Ayuntamiento (city council) of Palma de Mallorca, which aims to study, document, teach, diffuse, and encourage the elements of Mallorcan popular and traditional culture, focusing on dance, music, musical instruments and dress. Throughout the years the Escola de Música i Danses de Mallorca has participated in numerous cultural events in Mallorca, with the collaboration of the Ayuntamiento de Palma (city council) in various programmes of folkloric performances. It has also performed, and continues to do so, for the various cultural and social organisations on our island. Since 1987 the school assists with the organisation of the biennial World Folkloric Festival which takes place in Palma
