Main course levels
Beginners 22-28 July
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 22-28 July
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 5-11 August
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 5-11 August
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.
Scholarships
There are two scholarships available:
Löftadalen Summer Academy scholarship, in memory of Ivo Cramér
Each scholarship covers 50% of the fee in double room accommodation, and they both aim at professional dancers or dance students with any level of pre-knowledge in baroque dance. Dancers from all nationalities are welcome to apply. Application deadline is the 1st of April.
We hope to see you there!
