Following studies in both baroque dance and music, Edith Lalonger has extensive experience as a dancer and choreographer with such august practitioners as Francine Lancelot and Christine Bayle. She is the director of Les Plaisirs des Nations since 1993. Her recent success as choreographer for Rameau’s Zaïs demonstrated her ability to enrich the steps and figures of eighteenth century dance with theatrical expressiveness and musicality. In addition to being an experienced teacher, Edith’s research is shared in publications and conferences.
