The best dance scenes from "Le Roi Danse." Music by Lully

nul ne peut faire de l'ombre à l'astre solaire lorsque de ses rayons il irradie la face du monde sauf peut être l'aigle quand il déploie ses ailes...

Quelle étrange sensation...j'aime mon roi !

Did Lully also create the dances that accompany his music? If so, have we a record of them, or are they (in the film) conjecture versus recreation?

Many dances in the court performance were made by Pierre Beauchamp, great dancer and private teacher of the sun king. He establish the 5 positions in the classical dance and create a notation writing system for the steps.

There are many books and people working in this area. But this film's dances do not represent mainstream Baroque reconstruction. The stamping is counter to instructions to land softly, and I think leg gestures were lower and less 'attacked' than 'articulated.' The choreographer has done reconstructed works, but now approaches modern from a Baroque perspective, a very different aesthetic. I find it jarring since I think I know what it should look like, but maybe that's what the directors wanted.

Un film magnifique qui met en lumière l'un des talents souvent méconnu du plus grand de nos rois. Car s'il était un grand architecte, un brillant stratège et un mécène des plus inspirés, notre Roi dansait aussi à la perfection.
Hélàs, que nos dirigeants sont fades à présent, toutes obédiances confondues...

THANK YOU! I've been arguing this for a long time!

Quelle musique! magnificence! :o)

The stumble at the end caught me by surprise! It was a great place to end the video because it is unexpected. These are stunning scenes, and they are so enchanting.

You should have put the scene where the guy shouts: I fuck you my prince xD
