The Sun King Dance Workshop and Solo

Join Fernando Montaño, choreographer, guest principal artist and former soloist at the Royal Ballet, who will introduce you to ballroom dancing, Court of Louis XIV style. Our distinguished Master of Dance will show you the essential steps to shine in a menuet or gavotte.

Our listed library used to be a ballroom, and its beautiful parquet floor is made of Versailles panels. That makes it the perfect grand decor of our ballroom dancing. Bring any accessory you fancy (from a mouche to a perruque…), a pinch of elegance and a furious desire to have fun!

After the workshop and a short interval, Fernando Montaño will treat us with a solo from the legendary Ballet royal de la Nuit. In 1653, Louis XIV, aged 15 and ‘dressed as the Rising Sun’ in sparkling gold and jewels, appeared on stage for the first time to dance ‘his’ ballet in front of the Court and a large audience. Let’s relive this radiant choreography to the sound of baroque music. Amazement guaranteed!

More tickets will be released in January, stay tuned!

Why not enjoy a glass of champagne and some macarons after the event at Gazette?
