Numerous stage choreographies include Bill Irwin's Scapin (1997), dance historian for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Titanic (1997), choreographies for Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Mozart's Don Giovanni, Shakespeare's King Henry VIII, Massenet's Cendrillon, Monteverdi's Madrigals of Love and War and Orfeo, Berlioz's Beatrice and Benedict and choreographies for the Pacific Northwest Ballet.

Tanz und Musik bestimmten gleichermaßen den künstlerischen Ausbildungsweg von Hannelore Unfried. Sie verließ die Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Wien als Magister artium. Die solide Basis ihrer tänzerischen Ausbildung verdankt Hannelore Unfried der Grande Dame des österreichischen Ausdruckstanzes Rosalia Chladek. Den vertieften Zugang zur französischen Tanzkultur des Ancien Regime eröffneten ihr die französischen Spezialistinnen Françine Lancelot und Christine Bayle. Das 1988 von Hannelore Unfried gegründete Ensemble „HOF-DANTZER“ hat seine stilistischen Schwerpunkte im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert und ermöglicht einen fruchtbaren Austausch von künstlerischer Tanzpraxis und Tanzforschung. Auftritte in Österreich, Frankreich, Deutschland, England und Amerika bezauberten das Publikum. Zusammen mit Frank Perenboom entstanden die Programme „Les Fêtes galantes“ (2001) und „Le Triomphe des muses“ (2002) für die Schloßfestspiele in Ludwigsburg. Hannelore Unfried ist führend auf dem Gebiet der Ballpraxis der Straußära: Cotillon, Kör, Sir Roger und L’Alliance haben durch ihre Arbeit den Weg von der Forschung und die Publikation über Kurse und Aufführungen zurück in den Ballsaal gefunden. Unschätzbare Bereicherung verdankt Hannelore Unfried der Zusammenarbeit mit Dr. Patri Pugliese, Boston, USA. Hannelore Unfried lehrt historischen Tanz an der Universität für Musik in Wien und der Konservatorium-Wien-Privatuniversiät sowie Gitarre an einer Musikschule. Ihre Kurstätigkeit erstreckt sich neben Österreich und Deutschland auch auf Schweiz, England, Russland, Tschechien, Ungarn, Slowakei und USA.

Dear dancers!
We invite you to join us for an incredible two-week festival, The St. Petersburg - Prague Double Vintage Dance Week in 2017. Densely filled with adventures, the St. Petersburg and Prague weeks will be the historical dance event of the decade! Richard Powers, Hannelore Unfried and Boris Stratilatov will be our teachers in St. Petersburg. In addition to dance classes, the program includes dancing evenings, a midnight jazz dance cruise, summertime walking through St. Petersburg, a traditional Russian dance picnic, the 19th Century Grand Ball in a magnificent palace, and the fabled White Nights of St. Petersburg, when it's still twilight at midnight. You can find all of the details on the program page. We are cooperating with Dvorana from Prague. With this arrangement you have three choices: — The St. Petersburg Vintage Dance Week from June 24 - July 1; — The Prague Vintage Dance Week from July 1 — July 8; — Both! The most incredible dance adventure ever! If you choose to attend both dance weeks, you will receive a discount off the full price. For each dance week you must register separately. Each week has a capacity of only 70 dancers. To prevent one of the two weeks from filling too quickly, we are offering early registration now only for those taking both dance weeks. Then after one month, registration will open for those who wish to only attend one of the two weeks, if the two-week combination has not sold out by then. Join us on this exciting summer dancing adventure!
