A dance from the region of Naples in Italy. The name is said to come from the city of Taranto in southern Italy, or from a legend that dancing this dance would cure a person bitten by a poisonous tarantula spider, but the more likely theory today is that it comes from tarantism, a dancing disease that was prevalent in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries. The dance is similar to the saltarello and tresca, and is performed by two or three people in a lively manner with vigorous leaps and stomps. The music is in 6/8 time. It has been used in ballets, most notably A. Bournonville's Napoli (1842), and in the third act of Swan Lake.

イタリア,ナポリ地方の舞踊。名称は,イタリア南部の都市タラントに由来するとも,あるいは毒グモのタランチュラに咬まれたとき,この踊りを踊るとなおるという伝説に由来するともいわれたが,15~16世紀にイタリアで流行した舞踏病の一つ,タランチズム tarantismによるとする説が今日では有力である。サルタレロやトレスカに類似した踊りで,2人あるいは3人が動きの激しい跳躍と足踏みで快活に踊る。音楽は8分の6拍子。バレエ作品に採用され,特に A.ブールノンビルの『ナポリ』 (1842) が有名。そのほか『白鳥の湖』第3幕にもある。
