A series of workshops on fifteenth-century Italian dances, building up the standard vocabulary of steps by learning a variety of bassadanze and balli.
We are sorry to announce that, due to unforeseen events, the workshop planned for 8 June 2008 has been cancelled.
Pecour's rustic duet La Babeth (a gavotte) and, if time permits, Feuillet's duet La Triomphante (a Venetian forlana). The steps are not difficult, but more advanced dancers might like to explore the scope for ornamentation and theatrical characterisation.
