Main course levels

Beginners 23-29 June
Whether you are a dancer or a dance student new to the genre, a singer, musician, actor or other, this is the opportunity to get a thorough introduction to the world of baroque dance. For the ‘beginners level’ you do not need any previous experience of the genre. However, we expect you to be a mover with a general dance experience, be in good shape, be used to regular physical activity, and to possess good general body awareness. Please be aware that baroque dance is no less demanding than most other dance forms, and typically puts a lot of strain on feet, calves and core muscles.

Intermediate 23-29 June
​This level is aimed at dancers, dance students and dance teachers with a basic knowledge of the baroque dance vocabulary, as well as non-professional dancers with solid baroque dance experience.

Advanced 7-13 July
​To the advanced level we welcome professionally trained dancers, dance students and dance teachers with a thorough knowledge of the baroque dance vocabulary. Please note that we ask for a short CV if you register for this level.

Professional 7-13 July
​This level is aimed at professional dancers with a professional baroque dance experience. Please note that we ask for a short CV, as well as a link to a video sample of a stage performance, if you register for the professional level.

Registration

The places to the Summer Academy are released in two rounds: half on 15 January and half on 15 April. If a course gets full after the second release on 15 April, we will set up a waiting list.

Die „Gigue a deux“ ist ein flotter, aber noch vergleichsweise einfacher Bühnentanz von 1700. Durch Wiederholungen in den Schrittsequenzen und das einfache Schrittmaterial ist sie für Tanzerfahrene (z.B. mit Ballettkenntnissen) auch ohne Barocktanzerfahrung gut machbar. Anders als bei barocken Paartänzen sonst üblich, gibt es hier keine Wechsel der Symmetrie und keinen großen Partnerbezug, der Tanz ist wie ein Solotanz auf ein Publikum ausgerichtet und lässt sich auch gut als Solotanz verwenden.

Der Kurs findet in der Darmstädter Tanzstudio Harlekin statt. Anmeldung im Studio oder Mail. Mehr auf https://www.harlekin-tanz.de/

Die Zeiten: 10.30 – 12.30 Uhr und 13.00 - 15.00 Uhr
