Forthcoming Circle Dancing Workshop with International Teachers

THESE WORKSHOPS WERE HELD IN 2009 AND WERE FANTASTIC!

(Since then, Gail and I have attended several more workshops with Mandy and Judy overseas, and have brought back many of the dances to South Africa.)

Mandy de Winter and Judy King are known for their extensive dance teaching experience, their enthusiasm, musicality and humour, as well as their ability to take you beyond the steps towards a deeper understanding of the movement within the dance. Their repertoire draws on the rich traditional dances of the Balkans, Greece, Israel, Romania and Russia as well as the modern choreographies to all kinds of music from around the world - including contemporary music. Their visit to South Africa in 2006 was a rich experience for all who danced with them.

Mandy and Judy will return to South Africa in March/April 2009.

Their workshops will be:


Cape Town: 27 to 29 March
Gauteng first workshop: 3 to 5 April
Gauteng second workshop: 10 to 12 April (Easter)
The workshops will consist of sessions on the Friday evening (19:00-21:00) and the Saturday and Sunday (09:30 for 10:00 to 16:30). The venue will be Beaulieu Preparatory School (same as 2006).

The first workshop will have a similar format to the 2006 one. The second, which will be offered if there is enough interest, will be (in Judy’s words) “for dancers who want to go deeper into the dance. We thought we'd call it From the Roots and have a weekend where Mandy teaches traditional Balkan … and I do 'attunement type' dances … using a lot of classical music. We'd try to show where it all began with the traditional [dances] and where it's developed with the modern choreographies.”

Cost: whatever you can pay between R480 and R680, if you attend one workshop.
If you attend both workshops, then total cost for both together: whatever you can pay between R800 and R1300.
If you need assistance with the fee, please discuss this with Gail or Yvonne (we will respect your privacy).
