Master-class Experience of a festivity in folk games and round dances

A fete is a particular kind of an experience when there is a feeling of belonging and union with a large amount of other people. According to Bakhtin M.M.: “A fete is the life itself, shaped in a playful way”. A fete is a free playful communication of people. When playing we can feel how our soul and body bring each other up and teach, we can experience "the uniqueness of the life routine".
