Kendalc'h
Appearance
Kendalc'h (in Breton, literally "preservation" or continuity), is a confederacy of Celtic circles formed late 1950 in Quimper (Brittany). Kendalc'h promotes the Breton culture by means of the popular arts, based on eight radiuses of action: dance, costume, stage, street, youth, formation, music and publishing.[1] It counts 180 Breton associations today (among which 30 outside Brittany), approximately 13,000 members, working in the domains of the Breton dance and the choral singing in Breton language.[2] The other confederacy of Circles in Brittany is War'l Leur.
