THE EARLY DANCE CONSORT

What is early dance?

Home button

To newcomers to the world of early dance it may come as a surprise to discover that there are hundreds of documents which record the social dances of the European Courts in the Renaissance and Baroque eras - from the early fifteenth century to the late eighteenth century.
Having lain largely forgotten in archives for many years, in recent decades the dances preserved in these sources have enjoyed a new Renaissance as early dance specialists around the world re-interpret them for new audiences, just as the music of past centuries has been revived.
The Early Dance Consort
has been responsible for bringing this fascinating repertoire to life in classes, workshops, lectures, balls and performances for audiences both in Sydney and around Australia and beyond.
