The Vancouver Theatrical & Modern Fencing Club with The Pacific Baroque Orchesta performs to Jean-Baptiste's Lully & Johann Heinrich Schmelzer's Die Fechtschule.
A lot of artistic fencing groups include dances synchronized to music like that along with traditional combative activities. Overseas in Europe, they have annual artistic fencing championships and give out awards for the best such displays. Try a Google search for "artistic fencing" or "escrime artistique".
I think that this theatrical style of interpretation of baroque music is a great idea,
remember the pieces of modern composer Mauricio Kagel, sure it's a extra dimension, thanks for posting this.

I really had no idea. Not exactly my cup of tea, but still interesting, nonetheless.

The fencing is a little odd. The music is pretty good.
