Renaissance Dance Workshop

We offer courses of the Italian Renaissance dance at two levels, beginner/intermediate and intermediate levels.
Priority is given in the beginner/intermediate level to those who want to discover and practice the steps and style of renaissance dance. The level will be adapted to the registered participants.
Some knowledge of basic steps is recommended for access to the intermediate level.
Thus participants have the choice of 2 sets of classes which can be taken individually or in combination.

Beginner/intermediate level :
Study of the 15th century court dance, including the Bassedanze and Balli from the books of Domenico da Piacenza, Guglielmo Ebreo... Attention given to the relation to the dances of the 16th century.

Intermediate level :
Technical and stylistic instruction of 16th century court dance
Workshop choreography : Variations taken from
Canario, F. Caroso, Il Ballarino (1581)
Il Canario, C. Negri, Gratie d'Amore (1604)
