Knight fair “Alexandria’s Carousel” in Petergof has already become a tradition to many citizens of St.-Petersburg. Bright court feasts, fairy-tale atmosphere, unforgettable beauty of the Petergof parks are all creating the unique scent of holiday that differs the festival from most other “living history” events of the city and suburbs. If you have not decided yet how to spend the weekend on the 6–7th of July - surely come join us on the “Alexandria’s carousel”.

Diesmal steht eine historische Mazurka mit vielfältigen Figuren im Mittelpunkt des Workshops. Wir werden aber auch andere vielfältige nationale und regionale Paartänze unserer östlichen Nachbarn lernen. Die stolzen, kraftvollen Tänze werden uns mit ihren schönen Melodien zum Tanzgenuss verleiten.

Die Referentin zeichnet sich aus durch ihr pädagogisches Geschick in der Vermittlung der polnischen Tanzschritte, von leichten Tänzen bis zu anspruchsvollen Choreographien.
