DVD Reviews of HOW TO DANCE THROUGH TIME Volume IV - The Elegance of Baroque Social Dance
DVD Review: The Minuet
Summary: 5 Stars
The lessons are not a professional couple swirling themselves about showing themselves off as a number of dvd dance lessons are tragically. You can actually learn the steps. The steps are shown close up, an instructor talks you through it,
and it is slow, piece by piece.
Is this perfect? No. The demonstrators of those steps, who as I said, are not showing themselves off, are professionals. This does mean that you have to remind yourself that no one way back then looked like them. "Rise up on your knee" and your shown these feet in very high heels balancing about five inches from the floor effect. Obviously, you're watching ballet dancers, who though they are not performing ballet raise their heels MUCH higher than ourselves or ancestors could ever do.
The biggest problem which is not the fault of the program will be shoes. The shoes have to be utterly flexible, almost made out of a single layer cloth, with quite a heel. So that means the student is barefoot rising a heel about two inches at best. The only pair I could find was a males Irish dance shoe which is a bit much to tinker with the Minuet.
The lessons are good and worthy. I am pleased and I do recommend it.
Description of HOW TO DANCE THROUGH TIME Volume IV - The Elegance of Baroque Social Dance
The fourth volume of the How Dance Through Time series teaches the famously patterned dance steps from the French Baroque courts and countryside. These forms are the precursor to ballet and ballroom dance. Learn the Minuet, danced as a romantic courtship ritual, and the intricate Allemande, known for its kaleidoscope of handholds. Next, take a respite from the more formal steps and try the Contradance (Country Dance), an easy line dance that let dancers frolic at the end of Baroque period balls. Follow the Dance Through Time company as they recreate the most influential social dances of the French Baroque Court. The most famous of 18th century dances, the Minuet s patterned steps are delineated on the dance floor for clear viewing. The Allemande s complex and picturesque series of handholds are carefully depicted, and viewers learn of this dance s role in the transition dancing separately to dancing together in an embrace. Eight dancers demonstrate the Contradance s -Country Dance recognizable line dance pattern. The DVD also illustrates French Baroque culture through dance, such as how courtiers learned the townspeople s dances on official visits to the countryside, brought the steps back with them to the courts, and incorporated various changes.Bestsellers in DVD
