Baroque Dance
Introduction
This module is a wonderful resource for piano teachers to show their pupils when learning to play dance music from the Baroque Suite: Minuet, Sarabande, Gavotte, Bourée and Gigue. Showing the typical steps of the dances, complete with arm gestures, floor patterns and in period costume, they convey the elegant atmosphere, correct tempo and musical style of each dance with interesting commentary from Early Dance specialists Michael Holmes and Doctor Susan Danby (Hon. Causa).
Nicola Gaines is both a specialist performer and teacher of Early Dance. A graduate of the London College of Dance and Drama, Nicola has always had a very keen interest in delivery historical dance material to musicians.
