OXFORD HISTORICAL DANCE SOCIETY

Renaissance to the Roaring 20's

This society was founded in 1981 and organises day courses led by experienced and qualified tutors. Background information in music, costume and history are provided as well as technique and dances.

Anyone interested in history, early music, ballet, amateur dramatics etc will find these workshops stimulating and fun.

Mit dem aufkeimenden Handel und Reichtum entstand im Europa des 12., 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts eine faszinierende Hochkultur.
Das Spannungsfeld aus Glauben und Kulturen
spiegelt sich in der Kunst der Epoche wider.
Aus dieser Epoche sind uns einige Taenze überliefert, oft nur als Namen, in kurzen Textstellen, einigen Abbildungen und faszinierenden Musikstücken.
Vieles für diese Tänze muss man aus den etwas späteren Tänzen des Quatrocento entleihen.

The 14th ‘Cracovia Danza’ Court Dance Festival will be held between July 28th and August 4th 2013.

The ‘Cracovia Danza’ Court Dance Festival is a unique event on the cultural map of both Krakow and Poland, initiated by Romana Agnel, the Festival's Artistic Director. 



Court dance, theatre and music performed against the arresting background of the City's historic buildings is surely one of the best attractions Krakow has to offer to tourists, residents, lovers of court culture and audiences of all ages.
