Have you ever felt like you just don’t understand bourrée at all? Or, on the contrary, that you’ve already figured it all out? Maybe you’ve thought that bourrée – this centuries-old dance passed down from generation to generation – just isn’t very “fun,” and maybe not really for you? Or perhaps you’ve always been a fan, and take every chance to dance it?!
Whichever of these scenarios sounds familiar, we have the perfect dance lesson for you!
Program
Ready to really walk the distance with bourrée? This course offers 6 classes of 1,5 hours, with time to practice and let things sink in.
Together with Pierre, you’ll travel through a varied repertoire:
- bourrée à 2 temps in line
- bourrée à 3 temps from Berry
- bourrée à 3 temps from Auvergne
- improvisation, simple choreographies and other bourrée games.
We’ll revisit the step, posture and musicality each time, then open new doors: phrasing, dynamics, game of improvisation, and how to feel at ease in different regional styles.
The course is open level with conditions. See below
Originally from the bourrée heartlands between Berry and Bourbonnais, Pierre Chesneau has danced these repertoires since childhood and has over 15 years of teaching experience. He’ll guide you step by step so that, by the end of the 10 km, you'll feel lighter, more confident, and ready to enjoy bourrées all night long!
