DANCE DANSE DANS DANZA BAROQUE BAROCK BAROCCA

A course held in English in the heart of Paris

Dancing to Händel and Lully

This is a course for you who
– have never tried baroque dance before, but you are a mover, used to dancing and quickly take up new movements
– are a musician or a singer, used to baroque music and eager to move
– have experience with contre dances and know some of the basic step material
– have done baroque repertoire dances, but wish to work with the material at a slower pace

Choreographic material will be drawn from ‘The Prince of Wales’, a bourrée-like choreography by Anthony l’Abbé from 1727, set to music by Händel from his opera Giulio Cesare.

On Saturday afternoon there will be a workshop session focusing on ‘Gigue à deux’ by Feuillet from 1700, set to music by Lully from his opera Roland. For this session students are encouraged to study the choreography beforehand – for those who already know it, it will be an opportunity to work on style and technique. Those who don’t know it will learn only a smaller part and work on that.

There will also be time to relax in one or two easy contre dances.
