Term from Wednesday 25th of February till Wednesday 1st April 2026
You can register up to the 3th class of each trimester.
Your first class is a trial session. Do not hesitate to come and try!
For this series of six lessons, Fred De Schauwers invites you on a journey to south-western France to discover the repertoire that inspires him so much! He will share with you his 15 years of experience in dances from Gascony, the Basque Country and Quercy.
Depending on the group's preferences, you will learn a selection from the following dances:
Rondeau de Samatan, Rondeau/branle du Haut Agenais, Axuri Beltza, Carnaval de Lantz, Branle d'Ossau en couple, Branlous, ‘Petites’ danses de Gascogne (pas de 4 de Luxey, borregada, etc.), ronde du Quercy, demi-tour du Quercy, a few simple congos (congo de Vert, congo de Samatan, etc.), playfull collective variations in rondeau en chaîne, etc.
There will also be a few variations in the programme, particularly for the branle en couple.
We look forward to making you (re)discover all this!
Usefull information

For intermediate and advanced dancers. You must master the basic steps of the rondeau en couple. We do not expect any other prior knowledge of this repertoire.
