Basque dance course in Hendaye :
From mid-September 2013, Jon Iruretagoyena has been teaching a Basque dance course in Hendaye as part of a partnership between the Basque Cultual Institute and the Maurice Ravel Academy. Each week he brings together a group of seven to eight pupils throughout the school year and hopes that there will be a new class each year.
