| Sun 13 May | Workshop: Dance in the Time
of the Borgias 15th century Italian dance DanceBase, Edinburgh - Sunday 13th May, 11:00-13:00 How did people dance in 15th-century Italy? Amazingly, several dance manuals from the period survive that describe in detail the steps, the style, the music and the choreography, as danced in the noble court. This class will introduce you to this elegant and sophisticated repertoire. We will work with live music to appreciate the subtle rhythmic variety, which encompasses both stately bassadanza and the energetic piva and saltarello, often in the same dance. No experience necessary. More details at: http://www.dancebase.co.uk/Grassmarket/Dance-in-the-Time-of-the-Borgias.html |

loves.
The most famous tales – such as that of Lancelot & Guinevere,
or Tristan & Iseult – are
associated with
the legendary court of King Arthur. The same names and themes recur in
the
songs of the trouveres and troubadours. Programme 7:30pm. Entry by Donation St James Episcopal Church 57b Inverleith Row Edinburgh, EH3 5PX |
