Step into the enchanting world of Elizabethan elegance and rhythm in our Shakespearean Dance Workshop! We'll be taking inspiration from Shakeseparean texts themselves and learning some of the most popular dances from the Tudor period in this workshop as part of the York International Shakespeare Festival.

Our reader will set the scene with the relevant quotes and then our expert teacher, Lottie Adcock, will lead you through the dances accompanied by period music. Learn the Scotch Jig, a Cinquepace and the high Lavolt amongst others in this 3 hour workshop. 

Shakespeare is known to be a fantastic social commentator and his mentions of dance gives us a fascinating insight to the popular entertainment of the time. Discover how dance not only enhances storytelling but also connects us to the period in which Shakespeare was writing. 

Try something new, meet fellow enthusiasts, and connect to the past in this unforgettable afternoon where literature and dance intertwine!
