“let’s go down and do a bourree”

For the day started really early, with a happy birthday song for Fiona. After this cheerful beginning we had a funny warming-up with Joost and his rainbow-coloured blanket. We were jumping, spinning and waving our arms happily in the sun. We continued our morning with Jeroen and his famous breathing exercises. We learned that there is always some more space in our body to save some more air. The day went by quickly with interesting lessons with Emily and Jeroen. The highlight of the day was the workshop for baroque dance. We learned that dance in the baroque period was not for fun but to show that you are from the upper class. Surprisingly men were obsessed by showing their beautiful legs and hiding broad shoulders. In opposite, women were not supposed to show more than the ankles, and this also only in very special moments of the music. After trying to learn the Menuett, to everyone’s great pleasure we could see Emily dancing with the dance teacher beautifully.

Now we are going to dance up to our warm and inviting beds.
