Baroque Stage Dances for Beginners and Advanced Dancers
Immerse yourself in the magnificent world of the Sun King and learn the graceful dances of the Baroque. Trial sessions are free of charge.
Are you fascinated by the aesthetics and incomparable elegance of the 17th and 18th centuries? Whether through the glamorous festivities at the court of King Louis XIV, the magnificent costumes of historical films, or an interest in the true roots of classical ballet – with us, you can actively experience this majestic era.
We cordially invite you to our historical dance class. Discover the fascinating couple and stage dances of the Baroque every Tuesday. Experience in a relaxed atmosphere how supple footwork and stylish arm movements merge into a harmonious unity, and enjoy the perfect beauty of this historical art of movement.
Your first steps on the courtly parquet
Rest entirely assured if you have never danced before or feel a certain awe of the majestic movements: Our lessons are consciously designed to offer a gentle, structured, and wonderfully easy-to-follow introduction. The noble society of the Baroque was characterized by poise and benevolence – and it is precisely this spirit that we cultivate in our ranks. Mistakes are charming companions on the path to elegance, and the joy of learning together is our absolute priority.
Ladies and gentlemen without a fixed dance partner are also most cordially welcome at all times, as we cultivate the steps both in solo and in constant, elegant rotation within the group.
Let this glamorous era of dance history come alive again with us – and become part of our elegant society. Prior knowledge is by no means required for your first steps.
