Renaissance Dance Instruction...

Are you a Shakespeare In Love fan or Ever After aficionado? Jillian teaches period Renaissance dancing for couples and also country Renaissance dancing for small groups. Often brides and grooms like to present a dance that is a little different and shows off a shared special hobby. Renaissance dancing for your first dance can be a beautiful and elegant presentation that either dovetails nicely with a Renaissance or Medieval theme wedding or simply presents an unusual first dance for the couple that is always doing something fantastic and fun.

Jillian can work with you to create a period-correct dance utilizing the jumps and slices of the Italian courts; highly practiced and tutored dance for the purpose of showing off and gaining admirers, or she can put together something that looks like the real thing but is a bit easier for the novice to execute. Courtly and country behavior and etiquette are covered in conjunction with the dances.
