Spanish Baroque Course with Jane Gingell

The 17th century in Spain saw the development of a distinct national style in dance, both sober and passionate, which remained popular even during the influx of French fashions in the 18th century. The technique is full of light leaps, and was created over some of the most irresistible music ever composed, like the folias, chacona and canarios.

During this course, we'll be studying variations from Jaque's Folias and Minguet's Impossibles, as well as sequences from Spanish traditional dance, such as the fandango. There will also be castanet work with some of the dances.

We'll be working about 6 hours a day.

The fee is 180 Euros
