The corpus dances represent and extraordinary traditional and popular legacy. Four decades ago, in 1977, these dances were recuperated thanks to the folklorist Fermín Pardo and the dolçainer Joan Blasco. Since 2008, the Asociación de Músicos y Danzantes del Corpus de Valencia, which is headed by Juan Rodríguez, performs these dances during the Corpus festivity as well as in other celebrations.

The performance will take place at the Cloister of La Nau and will last about an hour. During this time, six dances will be performed: four of children and two of adults. The children will dance the dances of ‘turcs, cavallers, arquets y llauradors’. 40 children of the schools El Pilar and Trinitarias de Valencia will take part in the activity.

The adult group will perform the most representative dance, ‘La Moma’, which is a ritual dance that embodies the virtue and the fight against the seven deadly sins. The ‘cabezudos’ dance will also be protagonist since it is other of the most representative icons of this tradition.

The rest of concerts, whose entry is free, will take place at Plaza del Patriarca, from 22:30.

On 7 July, the groups of 'dolçaines, tabalers' and percussion of La Socarrà and the Universitat de València, which are directed by Pere Molina i Gonzàlez, will act.

On 8 July it will be the turn of Sociedad Musical Santa María Magdalena de Novelda, directed by Juan José Cuenca, with a programme of festive music.

The singer-songwriter from Alcúdia, Jonatan Penalba, will close the festival on Sunday 9 with ‘De so ca-rel’.

Serenates has the support of the City Hall of Valencia (Councils of Cultural, Festivities and Youth), the Valencian Provincial Council, the Higher Institute of Artistic Teaching of the Valencian Community (ISEACV), The Valencian Academy of Language, the Bancaja Foundation, the Sabadell Bank Foundation and the French Institute of Valencia.
