« A balli, a balli liete venite  »*

               

                Si le monde marche sur la tête, si nous avons le sentiment d’être des marionnettes, faisons volte-face et dansons avec légèreté et humour.

                Carnaval, fête des fous sont les manifestations d’un monde inversé. Déjà connus dans l’antiquité, ces moments de logique à l’envers avec négation de l’ordre établi se codifient dès la Renaissance.

For those who crave the rabbit hole! :)  This three-hour workshop shall not only teach a choreography, but also paint a cultural picture from primary source chronicles describing dance in context and work on drilling the refinements for every step and transition to create a truly elegant, tantalizing result for both dancers and audience. And finally, we shall examine some variations from across the sources to create a sense of variety. This workshop shall be focusing on the various versions of Amoroso (there are four, in fact...).   Cost: $17 per person
