Krakow dances. Workshops full of surprises! - Registration for workshops during 19th Cracovia Danza Court Dance Festival

War and Peace – this exciting theme will accompany us in this year’s 19th edition of the ‘Cracovia Danza’ Court Dance Festival, which will take place from 22 to 29 July 2018 in Kraków. Cracovia Danza Ballet – the organiser of this world-renowned festival – is happy to announce many attractions, both artistic performances and workshop classes, which will be available this year.   Relevant to the festival’s theme, our workshop offer has been updated to incorporate new courses, including those on dances of both war and peace. The most notable examples are historical fencing classes, taught by Mateusz Jabczanik, and a course on Indian martial dance Chhau, mentored by a New Dehli-based master of this style, Rajesh Sai Babu. Another new class in this year’s programme will focus on French contredanses. This style, as well as Baroque dance, will be taught by Pierre-Francois Dolle, dancer, choreographer and founder of Fantaisies Baroques Ensemble.   Furthermore, the offer features courses by many illustrious dancing masters: Barbara Segal (English dance, Baroque dance), Marie-Claire Bär Le Corre (French dance), Ana Yepes (Spanish dance), Gloria Giordano (Italian dance), Alaknanda Bose (Indian Kathak dance) and Leszek Rembowski (Polish dance). It also includes acting workshops: pantomime (with Krzysztof Antkowiak) and commedia dell’arte (with Agnieszka Cianciara-Fröhlich).   As one can see, Kraków will be hosting numerous dance celebrities from all over the world. The ‘Cracovia Danza’ Festival is an exceptional opportunity to meet the dancing masters all in one place and benefit from their knowledge and experience for a full week. The classes will take place in central Kraków, in the vicinity of the Planty Park, in the 19th-century building of ‘Nowodworek’ (Bartłomiej Nowodworski High School).   Cracovia Danza – Kraków dances in July!   Feel invited to join us!
