Catalan term

esbart

Catalan to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Dance
In reference to "Renaixença" folk culture revival projects:
"...des dels cors de Clavé a les capelles parroquials passant pels esbarts, les cobles i les colles sardanistes"

I've got "esbart" defined as "party of dancers". Here's the question: does anyone know if this is more akin to "dance troupe" or "dance party". Thanks in advance

troop

un esbart dansaire seria un "folk dance company /group...or even troop".
Sort amb el text.

trOUp -perdó, Patrick, he posat dues "o" en lloc de "ou". Se m'ha escapat, aquesta!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Martin Perazzo : In any case it would be a "troupe"

Sí, Martin, tens raó. Ja ho he corregit en una nota que he afegit posteriorment.
agree Paul Hirsh : tambe fa falta "e": troupe, el angles utilitza la ortografia francesa

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Gràcies Quim, Sí, "troupe" era la meva primera inclinació, tot i que, esperava que la "party of dancers" fos una mica més com a "festa dansaire". Però això va arribar més tard, suposo... Gràcies"

agree Berni Armstrong : There is an active "Esbart" in my town. They organise dances and also host dancers from around the world. I think it was once quite a movement.

Comment: "Good feedback. But I've already used "association" for something else in the same sentence, so I'm going with "troupe". Thanks for your help! - PB"

(traditional Catalan) dance group

Declined
I think I'd simply say 'dance group', 'traditional Catalan dance group' or '(Catalan) folk dance group'.
