The Capriol Society for Early Dance Website

Since 1984 the Society has organised an annual residential weekend course in or around Cambridge, with a visiting tutor, often from abroad. The responsibility for these weekends is now shared alternately with the Norwich Early Dance Group. Each course concentrates on a particular style and period.

The course in 2009 was in 15th century Italian dance, and in 2010 was about 16^th century Italian dance. Both were held at the Culford School near Bury St Edmunds. The tutor for both courses was Jørgen Schou-Pedersen from Copenhagen.

The Early Dance Weekend in 2011 is from the 1^st-3^rd of April. The subject matter will be the period of Jane Austen and the early 19^th century. Ellis and Christine Rogers will be the instructors for this session.

Previous teachers have included:

• Jørgen Schou-Pedersen from Copenhagen
• Ellis and Christine Rogers
• Véronique Daniels, founder of RenaiDanse in Basel
• Lieven Baert, from the Institute for Historical Dance Practice in Ghent.
