Congo de Captieux

Workshop Congo de Captieux & Luxey with variations by Koen Dhondt

Program

In parallel:

Learning the basics for those who don't know this dances yet
Refreshing/practicing and also rhythmic variations (easy and complex) for those who already know the choreography

A dance with figures, originating from the contredanse, the Congo de Captieux borrows for its movement the steps of the rondeau à deux from the Landes de Gascogne (Southwest of France). As for its choreography, which favours the meeting and the game between two couples of dancers, it has the particularity of introducing a dramatic dimension which is similar to… the pursuit of love! (description by Philippe Marsac)

The Congo de Luxeir is a similar dance from the same region.
