Dance Workshop: June 17th, 1875 in Aix-Les-Bains

The dance troupe Le Quadrille d'Elisa will finish their Scottish tour of performances with a talk and dance workshop to be held at the Institut français d'Ecosse. The evening promises to transport you to another time with its distant, bot not forgotten tunes, rhythms, and dance steps: June 17th, 1875 in Aix-Les-Bains, at the foot of the Alpes, besides the Lac du Bourget.

The two-hour event opens with a talk on the quadrille and other period dances by the troupe’s artistic leader Farid Daoud. Following his presentation, Le Quadrille d'Elsa will bring his words to life by demonstrating and leading participants through various historical social dances, such as quadrilles, polkas and waltzes.
