Dances by Michel Saint-Léon ca 1830 - Mazurka


Der Kurs wird in englischer Sprache gehalten!

Michel Saint Léon (1777 - 1853), father of the famous dancer and choreograph Arthur Saint Léon was himself a dancer of the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris. From 1822 to 1842 he worked as the dancing master of the princesses at the royal Court of Württemberg. To this princesses he dedicated four notebooks (1829 to 1836). In this notebooks he described exercises for the dance training, choreographies for the theatre, and social dances.
Michel Saint Léon composed many dances for his pupils, such as: Allemande composée pour les 3 Princesses, Mazourka composée par St Léon, Tirolienne composée pour S. A. R la P. Catherine, Kosaque  composée pour S. A .R la princesse Auguste…

In this workshop we will get to know and practice the Mazurka. The Mazurka is a dance for pairs from Poland, which was very populare in 19th Century Europe. 1829 Saint-Léon notated a Mazurka in twelve parts. One year later he described it again with some technical variations. We will practice both versions in this workshop.

The workshop is suited for advanced amateur dancers and dance pedagogues who want to dive into this elegant dancing style that fits in between the baroque and romanticism.
