@Malebody9 Don't think this is from a movie. The music is performed by Il Giardino Armonico, one of the best Baroque classical performers today. Some of their music is on DVD but not sure which one this might be on.

what movie is this?

@lordbyron1965 Absolutely : )

I love Giardino's musicians. And baroque dance. My observation on this video is that the male dancer, although great on the performance, in comparison to others i've watched, seems a bit to stiff. The female dancers were great as well.

I'm not a specialist, this is just my impression.
