How do we know that it was done that way? Don't get me wrong because I was just thinking about ballet. There is lots of music that has been carried on from the time period, but dance moves? Reconstructing is a delicate business, but I think that it worked very well. Thank you goes for the players and thank you goes to the dancers.
I’m glad you ask! In 17th century dance notation was invented (by Beauchamps and Feuillet). Thanks to that, we have a lot of choreographies written down. Most of them are dances for couple or soloist, but also some trois, quartets and one big choreography for 9 dancers. So, that’s why we know, how to dance menuet, gigue, gavotte etc. Notation system included lines of a dance in space, steps, embellishments etc. Port de bras was not written down, but the rules were described in „Dancing Master” by Pierre Rameau (1725).
@@DivertissementBaroqueDance Thank you. I am learning new things even though I am nearly 60 years old. Don't let that distract you because I think that everyone is capable of getting new information in. As I said, thank you for explaining it to me. I am a bit wiser now. 👍
