Free Renaissance Dance Workshop for Young Dancers with Kath Waters
10:00 – 17:00 17 November, FABRIC studios, Level 5 Birmingham Hippodrome, Thorp Street, Birmingham B5 4 TB
Early Dance Circle is excited to offer young dancers an opportunity to discover Renaissance Dance thanks to a private donation by a long-term member of the society.
The Renaissance dance repertoire is varied and exciting, with solos, duets, and set choreography in a variety of forms and moods. It offers courtly romance, dramatic interaction, moments of comedy, and stately processional dignity. There is scope for intense teamwork and individual virtuosity. Opportunities for performance at historic venues are becoming more common as this period (Tudors) is covered by the school curriculum and popular TV productions.
To register, please email to secretary(at)earlydancecircle.co.uk.
