Keeping traditions alive

The Paul Curmi Dance Company has scored another hat trick while representing Malta in three countries in the span of eight weeks. Under the direction of Eldridge Saliba Curmi, the founder’s nephew, the PDCD travelled to Germany, Austria and twice to the United Arab Emirates, where the troupe danced to traditional Maltese folklore music composed by Paul Curmi, Charles Camilleri and Eldridge Saliba Curmi. Choreography was by Eldridge Saliba Curmi and Paul Curmi. The troupe performed a peasant show, the Middle Class dance called Il-Beltin and the elegant Ghonnella dance.
