Regency & Renaissance Dance Workshops, NYC (May 4, 2008)

I will be teaching two dance workshops for The Elegant Arts Society in New York City this Sunday, May 4th. Logistical details are here.

The first (1:00-3:45pm) will focus on the dances of the Regency era (1810-1820), including steps and figures for country dances and the Royal Scotch and Caledonian Quadrilles, plus the Regency-era waltz. The Royal Scotch Quadrilles feature the "star" figure described in an earlier article here.

The second class (4:00-6:00pm) will cover what I semi-jokingly call the contra medley of the 16th century, Caroso's 1581 version of Chiaranzana. The dance mixes longways duple minor progressive figures with whole set figures, all using simple step sequences from the late 16th century repertoire.
