Bourrée Bonanza! Do you know your Berry bourrée from your Morvan moves?
This month, led by Anna Pack and with music from Emily Bowden, we are going to take a whistle-stop tour to experience some of the distinctive styles of bourrée danced in different parts of central France.
After the workshop we’ll continue with our regular Eurosession of offers and requests. Smooth-soled shoes are helpful for the dance workshop, and instruments are welcome if you wish to play in the session later.
Dance workshop – 8:pm – 9:00pm
Eurosession: 9:00pm – 11pm
Venue: Shakespeare’s Pub ~ S3 8UB
About the workshop
This workshop will compare and contrast a few of the key stylistic features of a bourrée dance from the Berry, Morvan and Auvergne regions, and introduce you to some typical steps. Bourrees are dynamic dances, danced as individuals in combination with others in partners, lines, squares or circles.
Rather than being an in-depth look at a particular style, by the end of the workshop we’ll have shared several distinctive aspects of each style. You may enjoy learning how to show off with apparently effortless and laid-back continental style, and experience a small amount of chaos and laughter along the way.
No previous experience, dance partner or hats necessary.
Keep on Caring
Eurosession is a welcoming community and we want everyone to feel safe. Please stay home if you feel unwell.
Donations
We suggest a £5 cash donation for the workshop, although if you give more then we can better support our teachers and musicians with fair payment. We accept cash or card.
See you soon,
