Baroque Dance - Sarabande / Il Giardino Armonico

[Gustaveleloup]

That guy's not even breaking a sweat.

[Narriz]

I mean why bother making such a nice film if they don't do it right..

[Narriz]

what is it with all the long closeups when we want to see the whole dancer not just his ass or upper body. luckily we get to see the musicians some times also..

[AML2000]

It does seem a little pointless to make a video of a dance, and have the dancers feet out of view most of the time!

[bayerasa]

This makes a School dance party look like Crap! Lol

[LUQMAN4334]

mind-relaxing party..



[TheTrasheurfou]

un autre siècle,mais un siècle d'excellence et de gout,on en est loin actuellement

[theshitaIker]

Such pansy, feminine-like movements are certainly not good for a man.

[markitoart]

@theshitaIker. not good for a man? , everything has to be watchet inside of a historical context!

[wooble73]

C'est bon!

[BaroqueRose]

ascolto quotidianamente musica antica ma ho difficoltà a vedere un balletto barocco e per quanto filologico esso sia lo percepisco molto più distante della musica che lo accompagna. abitudine alle cose?

[Varese13]

@HerrWarja Funny you should ask the question, but what we now call classical ballet comes directly from the court dances of the era of Louis XIV. Louis himself was an excellent dancer who frequently made guest appearances in operas by Lully and others. This was one of the reasons he was so proud of his legs, as one can discern from some of his portraits. For political reasons, It was apparently very important for courtiers to make a good impression as dancers. See the film "Ridicule".

[TheAbdou00]

hhhhhhhh lol la classe

[SeanDuffyProductions]

Really beautiful, but where would one go to purchase clothes of this kind?

[peymaania]

@SeanDuffyProductions Try getting them on E-bay.

[HerrWarja]

Is this how they danced sarabande at court? Looks more like advance ballet

[EsraRanter]

Excellent!! 

[Shindai]

Such elegance and control, gave me chills in places. Am I the only one who occasionally thought he looks like Rowan Atkinson though? That caught me a couple of times lol

[vulsinias]

Bellísimo, gracias por esta auténtica ventana al pasado!

[crazyluigi414]

hot chicks, cool cats. What is this, like the baroque soulja boy video?

[gonrolgonrol]

This is so beautiful : )

[signingupiseasyd]

Thank you, I like this.

[ShinAkiraX]

OMG HE LOOKS LIKE CORELLI.

[ohorok2]

Elegantné ale škrobené

[lichtbroeder]

Human, elegant, sensual, dignified, evocative, beautiful, moving, graceful, delightful, sad, passive, and powerful. Just like most modern music and dance. Not.

[signingupiseasyd]

@lichtbroeder I agree. You echo my own impressions entirely. Best wishes : )

[juanitu01]

Ce monsieur est extrêmement galant, mais je ne comprends pas que ses habits ne s'accordent guère à l'air qu'il danse.

[DannyWhiteDan]

Perfect!



[yuppyguitar1]

People had it so much better hundreds of years ago.

[jitkakytkabambitka]

The wor with port des bras is not very good. I am sorry.

[mjb718]

[bryndisgeirsdottir]

Til Peturs med kvedju fra afa
