HDS Summer School 2023: Dances of the Italian Renaissance

Dances of the Italian Renaissance: Exploring Fifteenth and Sixteenth Century Dance.

Friday 14th to Monday 17th July 2023 or Friday 14th to Friday 21st July at Bromsgrove School, Bromsgrove, West Midlands.

We offer a choice of a 15th or 16th Century dance course at two general levels of difficulty/challenge.The weekend course is aimed at those with little or no dance experience of their chosen period. The longer course is aimed at those with previous experience and some knowledge of the step vocabulary, with a few places available for weekend attendance. The weekend courses offer an excellent introduction to historical dance.

Participants will study with their chosen tutor in daily classes, to develop technique and learn a selection of dances. A varied choice of afternoon workshops led by course tutors and other specialists will offer an opportunity to enrich your experience. Sociable evening activities will include informal dancing, talks and activities, with Tuesday afternoon free to rest or explore this beautiful and historic region. Each course will conclude with a celebration to share dances learned, for which you may wear a costume of the period (not obligatory).
