Baroque Dance Performers

Baroque Dance, the fashionable dance of Europe from about 1650 to 1750 and what is sometimes considered the forerunner of classical ballet. It originated at the court of Louis XIV and became known as the French noble style, a highly stylised form of baroque dance. This elegant, graceful form of baroque dance rapidly spread throughout Europe.

Not content solely with baroque dance, founder of the company Barbara has extended studies and repertoire to cover the known choreographies in European sources from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. These range from the court dances of Italian Renaissance dance masters such as Domenico, Caroso and Negri to Regency dances, including dances of Jane Austen’s time, and dances of the Victorians.

Barbara and her performers bring Baroque and Chalemie dance to life with costumes, music and performances that range from concert presentations to explorations into the theatrical side of early dance and pantomime of eighteenth century.

They are available to give classes, lectures, and provide a range of entertainment shows including; lively and educational Children’s shows, outdoor events at heritage sites, festivals, corporate entertainment, weddings or themed parties.
