Renaissance Dance Repertory Workshops
Mar. 25
1:00-3:00pm
Prices:
Single class $25
Register: INTEGRARTE front desk or on Mindbody
Each session will be self-contained, devoted to one or more Italian ballroom dances from around 1600, as described in treatises of the period. Steps are in a “natural” (not turned out) position. Movement quality varies: steps can be smooth or sharp, calm or vigorous. Some dances, like galliards, include lots of jumps; others are closer to the ground. No prior Renaissance dance experience is required — steps needed for the dances will be taught as part of the workshop.

Leggiadra Marina, choreography by Cesare Negri
This multi-part couple dance from Negri's treatise Le Gratie d'Amore (1602) alternates among duple meter, galliard, and saltarello music, giving this easy-to-learn dance a satisfying sense of vigor.
