Such a nice demonstration...I am studying how inter-connected music of the Baroque period really is to dance. and demonstrated it so simply elegantly and informatively... Thank you My Ladies!
One advantage in seeing these baroque dances demonstrated by dancers in pants rather than in long gowns and panniers, is that you can see the leg work. That makes the dance much easier to understand and appreciate.
La courante n'est pas forcement une danse lente, dans celle-ci par exemple les jeunes filles ont inventé les pas ce ne sont pas ceux de la partition d'origine. C'est une danse de présentation qui ouvrait le bal mais elle peut être assez"coulée"
True, the problem is that the spelling was not consistent with either; especially in England. So, it is more the style of the music (and the composer), rather than the spelling of the name (which can be misleading).
Thanks for reminding me though, I couldn't remember which one was which off the top of my head and all my books are still in storage.

Depends on courante or corrente. In fact, courante is the slowest dance (yes, it is slower than the sarabande).
ps. French COURANTE is the slowest dance, however, Italian CORRENTE is a fast dance.

I thought the courante was defined as a courtship dance with running and hopping.

Depends on when and where... the tempo of a Courant could be blindingly fast or annoying slow...

@starcommander55 IIRC, the French COURANTE is a fast dance, whereas the Italian CORRENTE is slower and more stately...

nice interpretation of "La Bocannes". Was this taught to a drama class? It looks like you both have training in dance.
