The foundations of the French and Italian Renaissance dance are taught with each training course, according to the manuscripts of the time (branle double, branle simple, branle coupÈ, branle morguÈ, branle gay, gavotte, pavane, gaillarde et volte...)
"The dance is a kind of figure by whom the speaker can, by movements only and without speaking a single word, persuade the spectators that she is strong and worthy to be loved and cherished..."
