Tudor dance workshop invites you to learn steps from Shakespeare's era
A Tudor dance workshop is inviting people to learn steps from Shakespeare's era.
The workshop, led by historical dance teacher Lottie Adcock, will take place at York St John University on Sunday, April 27, at 2pm, as part of the York International Shakespeare Festival.
Ms Adcock has been performing historical dance for more than 15 years and teaches regular Dance the Past workshops in York and the surrounding areas.
Her repertoire spans hundreds of years, from medieval dance to dances of the early 20th century.
The Scotch Jig, the Cinquepace, the Galliard, and the occasionally contentious Lavolta are among the dances to be taught.
No prior dancing experience is required and there is no need to bring a dancing partner.
Period costumes are also not required, with attendees simply advised to wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
