earlydance.org | The Calendar of Early Dance

From 18 to 26 July 2026, Kraków will once again host the ‘Cracovia Danza’ Court Dance Festival, an event that has been restoring dance to its historical context and contemporary relevance for over two decades. Performances, shows and educational events will take place in special venues: at Wawel, the Main Market Square and in Kraków’s courtyards – where the city’s architecture and history provide a natural backdrop for historical dance.

“Tornei d’Amore” Masterclass with Claudia Celi

Taking its inspiration from the theme of battle, a recurring theme in musical compositions of the time, the Masterclass features skirmishes and choreographed love tournaments between ladies and knights. The two sessions of the course, open to students of all levels, in addition to the technical study of steps, offer choreographies reconstructed based on the treatises of the dance masters of the 16th and early 17th centuries.
