The popularity of the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott (a contemporary and favourable reviewer of Jane Austen) gave rise to costumed balls to which guests would come dressed as characters from his novels (his first in 1814 entitled ‘Waverley’) and groups of friends would try and costume to the same theme for the opening quadrille. Soon any historical dress was acceptable and Waverley balls were even being held in Australia and New Zealand.

Ein Abend aus Musik, Tanz, Gesang, Dichtung und Bildender Kunst - wie am Königshof von Versailles im frühbarocken Frankreich.

Pan tritt leibhaftig auf, das Bühnenbild lässt die Heldinnen und Helden der Antike direkt vor unseren Augen erscheinen, die Musik entführt alle in eine zauberhafte Welt zwischen Mythos und der überschäumenden Lebensfreunde des Barock. Grenzen verschwinden und die Legende wird für einen Moment lebendig und zum Greifen nah. Er erklingen Vokal- und Instrumentalwerke von M.P.de Monteclair, F. Couperin, J.-Ph-Rameau und J.M. Hotteterre.

Die neue Reihe „Grundlagen des Barocktanzes“ bietet einmal im Monat in Frankfurt am Main die Gelegenheit, sich ein solides Fundament in der barocken Tanztechnik zu erarbeiten. Der Unterricht ist auf Anfänger (mit und ohne Vorkenntnisse) ausgerichtet, ein Einstieg in die Reihe ist jederzeit möglich. Der Kurs ist natürlich auch für Tänzer bis zu einem mittleren Niveau im Barocktanz geeignet, die ihn zur Konsolidierung ihrer Technik nutzen können. Neben dem Erlernen von Tanztechnik und den verschiedenen Choreographien steht auch immer etwas Theorie auf dem Programm.
