Saturday November 26 is the date!

To celebrate 20 years of 19th century dances here in Rome, under the expert guidance of Maestro Paolo Di Segni, we will welcome you at the Auditorium delle Fornaci, just off St. Peter’s square.

The musicians of the Orchestra del Teatro della Memoria will accompany our steps, with their usual flair and good humor: the  Maestri, we know from experience, are quite ready  to join us on the dance floor!

The evening is open to all lovers of 1860’s and there-about dances. We hope to have friends from all groups and nations. The programme is especially thought out for them: it will include both some of the best known quadrilles and dances that can be just joined in… and of course… waltzes!

A bubbly aperitif will help us while time away as we wait for all to arrive. An elegant candle-lit gala dinner will be laid out for us, all seated around tables sparkling with crystal and silver.

A lively evening to meet up with friends old and new!

Costume: 1860, white tie

The Dancing master

Paolo Di Segni

Born in Switzerland in 1960, Maestro Di Segni started his musical education following the Jaques-Dalcroze method. He specialized in historical dance under the guidance of well-known teachers such as Barbara Sparti, Francine Lancelott, and Sherley Winne.

Maestro Di Segni researches and reconstructs nineteenth-century ballroom dances, presenting them both as shows and overtures at balls, or by serving as Maître de Cérémonie. He regularly directs nineteenth-century balls in Rome (Palazzo Barberini, Palazzo Taverna, Hotel Quirinale, Borgo di Tragliata, and Accademia Nazionale di Danza).

He has taken part in numerous tours in Italy and abroad, with such Renaissance and Baroque dance ensembles as Il Gruppo di Danza Rinascimentale, La Cortesia del Ballo, and La Follia.

He has often been on programmes for Telemontecarlo and RAI DUE, while teaching at Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera school and in Catania at Balletto di Sicilia. He has a long standing collaboration with the ‘Il Teatro della Memoria’ association.

He has taught courses in Naples for the ‘Dimensione Polifonica’, developing and directing shows and events on the Renaissance and the nineteenth century for the municipality and the Province of Naples, and the Campania Region. He has worked with the Orchestra of the Teatro del Petruzzelli in Bari, conducted by Janosh Acs. 

On Saturday 26 November we are welcoming you again, with flickering candles on the drive, drinks and refreshments in the mirrored room and of course an extensive programme of dances in the hal.

Just like our last edition of the castle festivities in June, we will return to 1830. Four musicians will be playing an accompaniment on pianoforte, violin, flageolet and cornet à pistons and dancing master Lieven Baert will stand ready to guide you in the steps and figures of some waltzes, quadrilles, allemandes and mazurka's.

In between times you can explore the upper floors of the castle and pose with your party for our house photographer. As usual, we will prepare some interesting side activities in te adjecent salons.

Dresscode is the fashion of 1830: gigot sleeves for the ladies, tail coats and waistcoats for the gentlemen. It appears that fashion evolves more slowly in the countryside: hence dreses from the empire or regency period (1800-1815) with a few simple adaptations can also be socially accepted...

On Saturday afternoon those who wish can take part in a free dance initiation session (14 to 17h). It is also possible to stay the night at Het Laathof, the youth tourism center on the castle estate, both on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 November.

Interested to dance at the Winter Ball? Then let us know quickly, as the number of places is limited!

Una reflexión desde las perspectivas académica y artística. Desde  la transversalidad en que se integran investigación coreológica y conocimiento corpóreo para la elaboración de una aproximación muy provocativa hacia el Baile Bolero, constitutivo de la imagen coreutica de España en el panorama internacional desde finales del siglo XVIII, con figuras tan emblemáticas como María Medina, hasta el Bolero postromántico, a través de las fuentes coreográficas y  musicales, iconografía y hemerografía.

Desmontando leyendas ágrafas sin refrendo documental: ¡Bye, Mr. Boliche!

Otro apasionante y provocativo proyecto. Un honor compartir cartel con Sergio Garcia y nueva andadura en la Asociación Cultural Por la Danza, hermana siamesa de la Asociación de Profesionales de la Danza en la Comunidad de Madrid.

Mi intervención, dedicada muy especialmente a dos monstruos del.Bolero que siempre animaron y apoyaron el loco proyecto de recuperar nuestro patrimonio: Mercedes y Albano. Y junto con ellos a nuestro recien incorporado al ballet de boleros celestiales Eloy Pericet
