Two hundred years ago, in the fall of 1824, composer Francis Johnson was commissioned to create new dances for the Marquis de Lafayette’s 1824–1825 tour of America as “Guest of the Nation”. The New York Baroque Dance Company celebrates this anniversary by reconstructing and performing Francis Johnson’s “New Cotillions” in this program led by Julia Bengtsson and dance researcher Alan Jones. This research project was supported by France’s Centre National de la Danse.
