Lectures & Period Dance

Introduction to Italian Renaissance Dance: Whitney Rowlett

Dance was an integral part of life at court in the Italian Renaissance, and we are lucky enough to have a variety of extant dance manuals from the period. In this introductory class, learn a little about the dances that were being done at court during the 15th Century, and join us to work our way through several introductory level dances. No experience is necessary, but do bring water!

Whitney Rowlett: Introduction to Period Dance 

It’s that time again! Did you know that you can dance with one hand while holding wine? You can. Did you know that you can learn to dance even if you think you have two left feet? You can. We’ll revisit some of our favorite dances from years past, and are open to requests!
