This conference will be of interest to dancers and historical dance researchers, and also to historians, musicians and drama students.
A varied programme of papers, performances and workshops will explore some of the ways our European dance heritage intersects with social life, across centuries and nations.

Im späten 18. Jahrhundert wurde der Ländler mit seinen einfachen Schritten und anmutigen, abwechslungsreichen Armführungen zu einem Favoriten der tanzbegeisterten Gesellschaft. Den Höhepunkt seiner Beliebtheit erreichte dieser Tanz im Wiener Biedermeier, wozu Franz Schubert mit seinen schönen Ländlerkompositionen maßgeblich beitrug. Daher wollen wir in diesem Kurs auch zu seiner Musik tanzen.
Figuren wie das "Fenster", die "Wellen" und der "Sturz" sind gar nicht schwer zu erlernen, bereiten aber Tänzern und Zuschauern gleichermaßen Vergnügen!

Quadrille “Le Prince Impérial“ (Paris, 1859) und “La Gigue Française de Salons“ (Paris, 1885)
