La Castellana and Chiara Stella

Thank you, Caroso, for giving us cascarde, for cascarde are wonderful things! One of the easiest of the cute cascarde will be taught: Maestro Etienne de Clermont's reconstruction of La Castellana from Il Ballarino. This simple, three verse dance with a repeating chorus introduces beginners to some of the step sequences frequently seen in cascarde. Chiara Stella, a competition dance for the Bal d'Argent will also be taught.

Other classes by the teacher(s) listed above are highlighted yellow below.
