The three typical dances of Sardinia are:

• Ballu tundu (also simply called Ballu): it is a joyful dance that is performed at virtually any party, festival or event. It is performed holding hands with arms tight and folded on the elbows, making a double step more cadence of the right foot. The dancers are arranged in a circle from which a couple that dances stands out in turn. It is variously performed with different instruments such as launeddas, the organ, the harmonica, the accordion and sometimes also with the guitar

• Passu Torrau: this dance finds its main place in Barbagia and there is no Sardinian who does not sing a song with these notes. It involves steps forward into which you insert “the race”, a series of steps forward followed by the return on the previous step and “the entrance” with a bow. Originally born with different instruments: diatonic organ, accordion, mouth harmonica, trunfa
• Dillu: dance originating from the countries of Orune and Bitti, consists of a single movement that consists of two jumps on the right foot and two on the left foot
