Quattrocento

Dances from the 14th century, e.g. Domenico di Piacenza

For those who crave the rabbit hole! :)  This three-hour workshop shall not only teach a choreography, but also paint a cultural picture from primary source chronicles describing dance in context and work on drilling the refinements for every step and transition to create a truly elegant, tantalizing result for both dancers and audience. And finally, we shall examine some variations from across the sources to create a sense of variety. This workshop shall focus on Marchesana.   Cost: $17 per person
