I understand that there is a couple dance and group dance version of the tarantella from an Italian website (it was in Italian but Babel Fish gave an understandable translation of the general types and time signatures used), also there are clips on YouTube discribed as tarantella that show a group dancing (I know this may be highly unreliable but the music sounds like what I'd call a tarantella i.e. fast 6/8). There is an excellent clip of a man dancing a tarantella Calabrese(sp?) for a solo version.

ClairBear, thanks for the link but my work pc (the only access I currently have) won't let me access it. Any chance someone could cut and paste the relevent bits here for me?
