The Workshop Theme
Come celebrate our Tenth Anniversary
by reconstructing and dancing some of
the most famous French ballroom and
theatre dances of the 18th century!
Let's also take a look at the multi-cultural
reach of dance notation in the 1700s.
Thomas Baird, Paige Whitley-Bauguess,
Hugh Murphy, and Makoto Ito
will teach you the basics or help you
brush up your technique!
- Menuet d'Alcide (Ball Dance - Elementary Students)
- Aimable Vainqueur (Ball Dance - French and Portuguese notation)
- Sarabande of Issé (Theatre Dance - French and English notation)
A Day at the Workshop
A typical day at the East Coast Baroque Dance Workshop includes a warm-up class and two Baroque dance technique classes per day that include Feuillet notation reading. Additional classes may include country dance, dance music, castanet techhnique, etc. There is also time for individual practice sessions.
