Rococo

Since our annual Winterbal has already sold out, we have decided to organise a second ball on Saturday 17th December.

On this festive evening too, the grand hall of the castle will once again be transformed into an 18th-century ballroom. The musicians and dancing masters of the Classical Dance Foundation will invite you for a beautiful series of contredances. At the same time, you can also visit the other rooms in the castle. To keep you dancing throughout the evening, refreshments will be provided.

Although spring has barely begun, we already have the pleasure to invite you to our annual Winterbal au Château d'Ursel.

The stately home at Hingene was the ‘maison de plaisance’ of the aristocratic d’Ursel family for almost four centuries. Now, it belongs to the Province of Antwerp who has restored the castle to its former glory with passion.

Desde los orígenes de la Humanidad las personas han bailado por motivos religiosos, bélicos, festivos o emocionales. La danza y la música bailable han estado siempre presentes en todas las sociedades, aunque en algunas lo ha hecho de forma más intensa, como en el caso de los estamentos superiores de las sociedades europeas de los siglos XVI al XIX, que exaltaron la danza hasta convertirla en una obsesión, un ingrediente imprescindible de la educación cortesana: proliferaron los maestros de danza, las escuelas y los libros que nobles y burgueses consumían con gran avidez.

Court Dance Society Potsdamer Rokoko cordially invites you to a baroque Midsummer Night’s Ball. Enjoy with us the shortest night of the year with dance, a menu with baroque dishes, all kinds of entertainment and an impressive view over the beautiful landscape of the river Havel up to Potsdam.

The evening programme is planned as follows:
- Entry/sparkling wine reception from 5 p.m. on
- Entrée
- Polonaise and other communal dances
- Performances by guests and hosts
- 3-course menu
- Dance to live music
- Official end: midnight
- After that: dance until morning

The Georgian Ball is hosted annually by Bath Minuet Company and has become a highlight of the early dance calendar.

The Guildhall in Bath continues to provide the perfect setting for this event which draws enthusiasts and practitioners of historic dance from across the UK.

A dance workshop is held on the afternoon preceding the ball for the benefit of persons wishing to attend and to assist those with perhaps less dance experience.
