The aim of our summer school is to provide people with the time to study a range of dances, to improve dancing ability and confidence, and to have fun in good company. The full course (with Markus Lehner or Anne Daye) provides an in-depth dance experience while the weekend courses (with Markus Lehner, Anne Daye or Robert Huggett) are perfect for those with less time available or those just wanting to try out dancing of this period. You do not need to come with a dance partner.
Participants will study with their chosen tutor in daily classes, to develop technique and learn a selection of dances. A varied choice of afternoon workshops led by course tutors and other specialists will offer an opportunity to enrich your experience. Sociable evening activities will include informal dancing, talks and activities, with Tuesday afternoon free to rest or explore this beautiful and historic region. Each course will conclude with a celebration to share dances learned, for which you may wear a costume of the period (not obligatory).
