Course

For one weekend, the 14th century Rathaus of Miltenberg, shall play host to a school of dance, known in the tongue of more refined courts as an academia della danza. In addition to learning dances from the courts of the Gonzaga, Valois, Lancasters and Tudors, there shall be a feast, as well as terpsichorean revels and a ball as no one has seen in many years. Come one and all to partake!

"Atti Nobileschi":
An Introduction to Magri

In this course, taught by Jane Gingell, we'll be exploring social dance styles from Magri's Trattato of 1779, including contradanza, minuet, and step sequences from his version of Aimable Vainqueur, "Amabile".
The course level is general, but students will need to have at least a little experience of baroque dance, or other dance style with arm movements (ballet, flameco etc).

The course runs from Friday evening to 16.00 on Sunday.
Places are limited. For full details, contact Jane.

Saturday and Sunday 30-31 March, 2013. In her annual Easter course, Barbara teaches notated dances from the Baroque repertoire.

Occasional performances at historic venues are on offer, but no partner or costume is required.
