Description: Discover the mad craze in Follia, the sexy courtship of the elegant Minuet, the full passion of the Bouree and the pyrotechnic challenges in the Sarabande. Learn the dances of the Baroque period with musicians, actors and more! This open class with live music accompaniment on period instruments promises to be a mixing of the art scene as never experienced before. Break the barrier of tedium and discover a portal to the 18th century!

Who can come? This class is open to professional dancers, teachers, students, musicians, singers, actors and dance enthusiasts. Expand your circle of friends as you meet new people and learn the proper way to offer a hand during the minuet or how to cut a caper in the jig! Ages 13 and up are welcome to join us.

What do I wear? Please wear a flexible dance shoe, no street shoes are allowed in the studios. Casual dance or exercise clothing is recommended.
