Description: This Fall we are offering a variety of experiences.  In September we will study La Royale choreographed by Pecour. This saraband/bourre has great beauty and is inspired by the music of Lully. Moira Goff offers a lovely essay on the dance, click here  Caroline Copeland will give the first class on September 11th, a week later than usual because of the national holiday, Labor Day Weekend, on September 4-6. This Saturday virtual class is from 3:30-5 Eastern Time.

Catherine Turocy and Julia Bengtsson will give the follow-up classes for this dance on Tuesdays in September at a new time, from 11-12:30 Eastern Time.

October brings Bachtoberfest with each class illuminating the dance in Bach’s music. How does the dance cadence guide the music cadence and phrasing? How can the body move in visual harmony with the music? These are just some of the questions to be explored.

We will give you an update for November and the rest of the year as we wait to see when the Mark Morris Dance Center will be able to host our class again.  As before the pandemic, we will have alternating teachers from our company teaching the class. For the Fall, teaching will alternate between Catherine, Caroline and Julia.

Class begins with a warm-up, moves on to learning the steps and then the choreography of the first figure. The last 15 minutes of class will be used to look at the notation so students can polish their reading skills. If you do not read the notation, do not worry, this is a dance class! Fortunately the proportions of these dances can easily be adapted to a smaller space and fit well in a zoom format.

NEW FEATURE! Every first Saturday of the month the class will look at a new dance. The following Tuesdays in the month students can choose to finish learning the dance on Tuesdays from 11am-12:30pm Eastern Time. Each class is $10.

When: Every first Saturday of the month from 3:30-5PM  Eastern Time Zone.

Where: Currently on ZOOM! When the Mark Morris Dance Center re-opens we will offer the 1st Saturday of every month in the studio as well as on zoom. The other 3 classes of the month will only be on zoom.

Cost: only $10 per class!
