          Txantxoak

Bullet1 The Abaltzisketa txantxos are danced at carnival. The group comprises eight dantzaris, who are accompanied by the  mozorroazesterua and the soinujolea. On Carnival Sunday, they go from farmstead to farmstead asking for tips.   The dantzaris use two small sticks and they dance the makila-dantza. They bang their makilas together to the rhythm of the biribilketa as they go along the route.

Bullet1 The mozorro carries a brush in his hand, which he uses to clean the halls or porches of the farmsteads so that the dantzaris can dance the makila-dantza. The zesterua is in charge of collecting the gifts of food and drink from the baserritarras.


         Dantza-soka

Bullet1 The dantza-soka or soka-dantza is danced in Abaltzisketa on June 23rd, St. John’s Eve, at around 21.30 hours. The mayor leads the dance around the bonfire that is lit in the town square. The aurrendari and the azkendari lead the dance and young and old alike take part.
