Join us to enjoy the aristocratic elegance, technical precision and beautiful music that is Baroque Ballet. Fiona and John of the Early Dance Consort (Sydney) will lead us through a weekend workshop of early 18th Century Dance from the court of Louis XIV. The weekend will include introductory sessions to learn technique, steps and rhythms through to more advanced sessions to learn the various dance forms and figures of choreographies from the era of the great Sun King.

Louis XIV of France changed the course of European dance history, encouraging its development, written notation and ensuring that French remains the language of classical ballet even today.

The Baroque Winter School is designed to suit both those new to baroque dance and those with some experience. You will learn about the different Baroque dance forms such as the Bourrée, Gavotte, Minuet, Sarabande & Gigue and have the opportunity to learn some repertoire. No experience or partner required.
