Workshop folk dance for beginners – level 2  – Jessica Swaen

 

Programme

In this workshop for beginners and "semi-beginners", we discover the most common folk dances of level 2 .

  • The basic steps of the waltz, andro and rondeau in pairs
  • A review of the basic principles of leading and following
  • A few simple variations for the scottish, mazurka and/or jig
  • If there's time: Quickly brush up on the other dances from the Level 1 course (cercle circassien, gavotte de l'Aven, polka and hanterdro).

 

We pay a lot of attention to a good dancing posture and, if necessary, to unlearning "bad dancing habits". This makes this workshop not only suitable for beginners, but also for people who have been going to balls and festivals for a while, but never learned waltz, andro and rondeau en couple in detail.


On Saturday 14 February from 1.15pm to 6.15pm, there will be a folk dance workshop for  beginners  level 1, the perfect preparation for 15 February!
 



Continue learning after the workshop?

After this workshop you can join one of the groups of the current trimester. The dance teacher will tell you more about it.

LEVEL

You need to have followed a folk dance workshop for  beginners  level 1 (for example on Saturday 14 February) or a term of level 1 classes.

This course is also of interest to dancers who have been attending balls or festivals for some time without ever having studied the waltz, andro or rondeau in detail as a couple.
