This event highlighted the great drawing power of the 'dansà', which could hold many more sessions without losing its appeal. Although a little over five hundred dancers participated, the number could have been much higher, as only four members were allowed per Fallas commission that had achieved the necessary merits.
The square was completely full of both public and dancers, creating a spectacular image. The 'fallera mayor de València' and her court of honor led the 'dansà', capturing the attention and flashes of attendees. Some of the thirteen court members already knew the steps, while the others had learned them soon after the 'cremà' of the Fallas.
The Fallas 'dansà' showed that it is a celebration that could be held as many times as desired, but that it would threaten to overshadow the program of the Virgen de los Desamparados.
The night turned out to be a resounding success, consolidating the 'dansà' as one of the most prominent events on the festive calendar. This format was recovered by the Fallas in 2018, despite pressure from some sectors at the time.
The dances continue today with the participation of groups not part of the Fallas. At half past six in the afternoon, it will be the turn of groups from other towns, and a few minutes after midnight, those from the city of València.
