Renaissance

If you have ever wanted to be a part of the many forms of social and theatrical dance that existed in the world during the Baroque period, this is the course for you. The term Baroque Dance is often used in reference to the French noble dance style and technique of the late 17th and early 18th-centuries.

Du XVe siècle à la Renaissance, nous connaissons essentiellement la danse de cour. Bien danser, savoir chanter et jouer d’un instrument permettaient de tenir avec grâce et dignité son rang dans la société. La Renaissance en musique et en danse est caractérisée par l’introduction dans le registre courtois de formes et d’éléments populaires. C’est ainsi qu’une part importante est accordée aux rondes, facteur de convivialité et de cohésion sociale.

English version

This year the course will explore the early 15th century—dance forms which were in existence already in the late 1300s in music, images (for ex. Giotto, Lorenzetti) and literature (Boccaccio).  The choreographies will be based on a study of these sources and the contemporary dance-types: rounds, open chains and serpentines, couples dancing in processionals and solo saltarello dances.  Recent texts by musicologists and other specialists will be discussed. 

The first balli by Domenico of Piacenza and Guglielmo Ebreo will also be learned.
