Won-der-ful.
I believe the dictionary cannot find the best words to describe what do I mean when all my being screams "Splendid!"

On the whole too few ornaments, I think.

So beautiful and elegant!! Damn, judging by this Louis XIV must've been a pretty good dancer! o_O

He should be considered a standard by which to judge other male baroque dansers. The bravura, stance, posture, intricate movements, power in combination with his refined performace I have yet to find an equal to. He indeed becomes the young Apollo, inspiring awe to his 17th century audience with his otherworldly grace.

I like the "pettycoat" britches.

A very good performance of this very difficult solo. Would the dancer have been masked in the original performance in the Baroque period?

The dancer is Nicolas Enguyen, now a married man with children, having retired from the stage. Were you perhaps fooled by the wig?

These baroque dance clips are awesome!! Thank you for sharing these. I have a question for you.....Do you know how detailed the original manuscripts were? Do the dancers have to "fill in" gaps or improvise much ??Again, thanks for sharing these.

You're very welcome! The original manuscripts described very precise steps; the arm movements were 'improvised' according to certain codes of use of that period. Perhaps it would be instructive to post a video explaining the use of the original diagrams. They are fascinating!
