In Save the last dance for me, he works with the dancers Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini on the steps of Polka Chinata, a Bolognese courtship dance originally performed by men only and dating back to the early 1900s. Sciarroni discovered this dance in December 2018, when it was practiced in Italy only by five people. For this reason, the project consists of a performance and a series of workshops to spread and revive this popular tradition in danger of extinction.
