The New York Baroque Dance Company cordially invites you to an afternoon of discovery. Caroline Copeland will share her research and teach dances of Ignatius Sancho (1729-1780), a British composer, writer and abolitionist from London who signed his music, “African composer.”  Julia Bengtsson who was recently in Paris with Alan Jones under the auspices of the Centre Nationale de Danse, will teach and share their work on the dances of Francis Johnson (1792-1844), perhaps the first African American composer to ever publish his music and tour with his dance band in Europe.

This workshop will be presenting dances included in our event, An Afternoon of Dancing, at the Good Shepherd Church near Lincoln Center on Sunday, March 9 at 4:30pm. We will have a splendid time with live music, dance demonstrations by The New York Baroque Dance Company and dancing by all in attendance, complete with light refreshments.
