Description

Discover dances from ancient traditions in Wallonia... and you'll find it exhilarating? You bet!

Drawing on a variety of sources, we propose to explore the dance heritage of Wallonia, and in particular of the Liège region in the broadest sense. In particular, we'll be looking at the ‘p'titès danses’, the contredanses/dances with figures known in our region as maclotes, amoureuses, allemandes or passe-pieds, while taking a few detours into more recent dances (always to music from Wallonia's heritage).

The approach will involve playing with different steps, with the aim of experiencing a diversity of suspensions, relationships to the floor and postures, in direct connection with Julien Maréchal's interpretation on the violin.

The focus will also be on the movements of these contredanses, giving us a chance to work on our memory and, above all, to plunge into the pleasure of collective figure dances.

Dust and old things? Of course not! A whole lot of fun? You bet! Come and (re)discover some of these treasures and soak up some Belgian roots in 21st century style!
