The building of the Ethnographic Nucleus of Lousa consists of two floors: the lower floor dedicated to the theme of the technological cycle of olive oil and the upper floor dedicated to the Traditional Dances of the Slate.
The Center dedicated to "Dances da Lousa" guides us on a journey through the rich secular traditions of this Parish. In it we can find music, letters, dances recreated in photography and film, costumes, musical instruments, such as genebres, a type of xylophone, an archaic musical instrument used only in the slate.
Although the origin of the "Dances da Lousa" is unknown, every year the people of this parish, during the religious feast of Our Lady of the Heavens, on the 3rd Sunday of May, recreate this ancestral ritual in front of the Mother Church.
The "Dances of the Slate" are composed of three distinct dances: "Dance of the Maidens", "Dance of the Men" and "Dance of the Scissors".
