Italienische Renaissancetänze Die italienischen Tänze des 15. Jahrhunderts faszinieren durch ihr Schlichtheit und durch die Kraft, die sie ausstrahlen. Die ältesten uns bekannten Beschreibungen stammen von Domenico da Piacenza, der sein Tanzbuch vor 1455 schrieb und das die Basis unserer Arbeit bilden wird. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Tanzschritte, Figuren und Orientierung im Raum. Der Kurs richtet sich sowohl an Leute, die schon etwas Erfahrung mit diesen Tänzen haben wie auch an Anfänger.
