Subject: Medieval Dance event in Santa Cruz, CA
A Medieval Odyssey
A Circle Dance event which will take you on a Medieval adventure.
Medieval southern France (the Languedoc in the middle ages) was a place
through which many of the pilgrim routes to sacred places such as Santiago,
Montserat and the Holy Land passed. The troubadours held their courts of
love in many of the beautiful chateaux of the region.
A group of warrior monks known as The Knights Templar were created and
forcibly disbanded by the King of France. The Cathars found a homeland and
were wiped out by the government and church in less than fifty years.
Through the beautiful music of the time and *re-constructed circle dances,
'The Medieval Odyssey' will transport you to this fascinating, dangerous
period of history.
Welsh musician and dance instructor Ray Price will be your guide and will
not only teach you the dances, but will share his knowledge of the time and
place.
No partners or previous dance experience are required.
