The Berlin Tarantella Community meets regularly at various venues for the Tarantella Trance Party, in scene clubs such as SO 36, the Mudd Club, Tränenpalast, UFA-Fabrik, Club Bastard (Now every second Friday in a mounth at the "Werkstatt der Kulturen" Wissmannstr. 32), and others.

Often they take place on the occasion of religious holidays such as Easter or Christmas. These holy days even become the focus of the parties in order to emphasize the profound folk piety of Southern Italy and the mystical character of the Tarantella in its original sense.

I also put on Tarantella Trance Parties every year for Carnival. The themes of changing identities and the interrelation between good and evil are especially emphasised, both typical for Carnival
