This class activity is based the court dances of the late 16th and 17th centuries. This included the codification of the five ballet positions and the outrageous mannerism and affectations of court life complete with costumes and props. Patterns and formations as well as intricate steps made up these court “dances of the folk”. Construct a dance that includes many of these components along with the intrigue that was woven into this scene.
Give some specific examples! To receive full credit be sure to reply to at least one of your classmates posting as well. Since discussions are interactive with your classmates there is no 24 hour “late submission” window for this assignment!
Please note: Discussions with video postings must either “show” the video so it can simply be “clicked on” and played (hint use the YouTube link in the HTML editor browser located above the text box). You may also choose to embed the link by “sharing” the video (hint use the unbroken chain link in the HTML editor browser located above the text box.).
