Historical dance Workshops

Ken Pierce teaches these workshops for online and in-person learners Mondays through the winter. Each session focuses on an aspect of early dance - whether a certain set of dances or steps, these workshops are designed to link explore the ideas and movement of our predecessors.

Upcoming workshops

  • We'll look at a triple-meter solo entrée by Pécour (LMC 4620), set to music from Atys. As with previous workshops, focus will be not so much on learning the dance as on exploring steps and style.
