Workshop Portuguese dances – Hilde Van Hemelrijck
Programme
Discover the rich Portuguese dance culture with Hilde, who lived in Portugal from 2001 to 2014. Each region has its own unique traditions and dances. We will take a journey from North to South and learn typical dances from the Minho, Trás-os-Montes, Ribatejo, Beiras, the Alentejo and finally the Algarve, each time paying attention to basic steps, technique, posture and dynamics.
Several Portuguese folk bands have created new arrangements of traditional tunes. Thus, the dance culture of the different regions is shared more widely, not only within the regional folk dance groups (‘ranchos de folclore’), but also outside.
Come enjoy the southern energy of Portuguese circle and couple dances, bem-vindos!
