" La Belle Danse Baroque Dance Company was founded in 1996 under the artistic direction of choreographer and dancer Daniel Gariépy. The company is devoted to bringing to life the beauty of baroque dance.

Using original 18th century sources as our starting point, we also create unique, innovative works that honour the spirit and traditions of the past while building bridges to new audiences today. Our performances have been hailed by the critics as: "stylistically flawless and lovely to behold."

"The eight dancers of La Belle Danse were perfectly in tune with the period style, and enhanced and illustrated the emotions of the music."

Combining the ethos of baroque dance with our own contemporary creativity, we seek to foster an understanding and appreciation of this unique art form. We strive to create and perform works that are accessible, enlightening and inspiring. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

“Rare manuscripts and the earliest printed dance books provide the repertoire for Renaissance Dance - the mainly social dances of Europe from the 15th to the early 17th centuries. Styles during this period ranged from simple country round dances, stately pavans and energetic galliards to spectacular torch and sword dances and complex choreographies from the Italian courts.

You are invited to join the Rippon Lea Renaissance Dancers in classes which run throughout the year. All sessions begin with warm-up exercises followed by step technique and the study of chosen dances. Newcomers will be integrated through the simpler dances of the French and English repertoire. Progress is aided by printed material issued during classes.

Once appropriate standards have been achieved, newcomers will be invited to join the performing team which gives frequent concerts, theatrical and school performances around Melbourne, regional Victoria and, occasionally, interstate. Performers wear as-original court garments and are accompanied by the Early Music Consort of Melbourne using reconstructed historic instruments.  …”

"Welcome to a world of music, dance and costume! Earthly Delights is both the name of a wonderful band and the banner under which a cluster of related passions are exercised.

As a band Earthly Delights might be anything from a wandering trio to a full-on five-piece, and might be caught doing anything from garden weddings to grand concerts, playing anything from pavans to tangos and leading anything from a simple 17th century country dance to a snazzy 19th century couples dance.

As a banner, Earthly Delights covers everything from tutoring dance, putting on balls to producing CDs, publishing dance & tune books, making fine historical costumes and as the Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy is the home of the Bordonian Heritage Dancers. Besides creation and performance, however, Earthly Delights is also about sharing - and hence our intention to develop this web-site into as much of a public resource as possible.
