Saut de Garona (Cocanha)

Masterclass Sauts béarnais (Sauts basques) with Koen Dhondt

 

Schedule:  10h30 – 12h    &   16h – 17h30
 

Program 
  • More difficult steps: pas volat, simple pas volat, copar tres, dus
  • Rhythmic and other variations for the basic steps
  • Dances : Saut de Garona (Cocanha), La craba, Dus/Hegi, Charmantine
  • Practise Basque terminology if there is time left
In this workshop we learn the sauts Béarnais: circle dances of varying complexity, where each person executes well-codified sequences of steps without touching his or her neighbours. "7 sauts" is the most famous dance of this repertoire. 
 
In the Basque Country, the same basic steps are used as in Béarn, but the names of the movements are different. You will quickly learn the Basque terminology, so that you can also follow the callers' announcements during Basque balls. The trainees will receive small memory aids.
