The New York Baroque Dance Company 
 

Dancing in the Summer House

Dance of the Month August 1st with Meggi Sweeney Smith
Time: 3-5pm
Cost $16

 

This class will be an introduction to Baroque dance technique. We will examine the different movement elements that provide a foundation for Baroque dance. We will then explore the basic steps most often used - from the pas marché to the springing steps of the gigue - while discussing the cultural ideologies and settings that supported the development of this dance form. We will finish the class with an opportunity to apply our movement explorations to a dance phrase reconstructed from Baroque notation. 

All are welcome, bring a friend! This is a chance to become acquainted with the beauty of the Baroque, or, for the more experienced student, a chance to deepen your understanding of the aesthetic as it is revealed in its deceiving simplicity.
 
We hope to see you this month!

Sincerely,

Meggi Sweeney Smith, Teacher/Dancer and
Catherine Turocy, Artistic Director
