Movie Reviews of Introduction to Baroque Dance: Dance Types
Movie Review: Professional resource - great choice
Summary: 5 Stars
This selection of Baroque dances is concise and to the point. The dancers are very professional and they present their art with passion and understanding. I am a musician who has played many of these dances since childhood, but after seeing the excerpts in this video, I have come to a much higher level of appreciation for the basics of how to interpret them.
This video is much better than any other resource currently available - a true MUST SEE for anyone who wants to perform repertoire such as the Bach Suites.
Buy it - you won't regret it!
