Baroque

On April 28, 2012 you are cordially invited to dine in the beautiful Neoclassical Rooms of the Hodshon House along the river Spaarne in Haarlem. After dinner you can join a dance evening in the Neo-Gothic Aula. If you cannot dance, do not worry as the steps will be taught on the spot. You can also drink a cup of tea and find entertainment in the various rooms. We request the pleasure of your company, well dressed in the style of 1812.

Courses

Choose one of the following courses as your principal study, for
daily classes with your expert tutor, supported by dance notes. Classes
are at intermediate level, in the style and technique of the period.

- Passepied à quatre, par M. Feuillet, IXe Recueil de Danses pour l´Annee 1711
- Quadrille Par M. Magny

2 typische durchchoreographierte Tänze, die mit wenigen Schrittvariationen auskommen und sich daher besonders für Barocktanzeinsteiger (mit und ohne Vorkenntnisse im barocken Schrittrepertoire) eignen.

Fortgeschrittene können in diesem Kurs ihr Repertoire an einfachen Balltänzen erweitern und finden außerdem Gelegenheit, eigene Schrittvariationen in bestehende Tanzstrukturen einfließen zu lassen.

Kurszeiten: FR 18.30-20.30h, Sa 10.30-14.30h

Zu einer Melodie aus der Tragédie lyrique Achille et Polyxène (P. Colasse, 1687) veröffentlichte Louis-Guillaume Pécours diese schöne, typische Paarchoreographie für den Ballsaal (Recüeil de Dances, Paris 1700).

Die kleine Tanzsuite ist nicht allzu schwer und auch ideal zur Auffrischung verstaubter Menuett- und Bourrée-Kenntnisse! Da sie immer wieder in internationalen Kursen angeboten wird, gehört sie sozusagen zum "modernen Barocktanzrepertoire".

Wie bei allen unseren Workshops brauchen Sie keinen Partner mitzubringen.

Kurszeiten: SA 17-20h, SO 9.30-12.30h
