Absolutely splendid. Better than the muck people call dancing today. Even contemporary Classical ballet looks harsh and inelegant next to this. Even the frocks are lovelier.

Life goals.

Très joli, mais assez loin de la Farandole provençale. La chanson est catalane (extrait du recueil Libre Vermell, comme le dit le texte de présentation). Etonnant choix, car c'est un recueil de chants religieux. La farandole provençale est quelque chose de bien plus rapide. Bon exemple dans le film l'Arlésienne, avec en plus l'accompagnement traditionnel, galoubet/tambourin.

Play for me minstrel, play and take away our sorrows. Play for me minstrel, and we'll follow.

Beau et gracieux

How can we know it was this way?

I found your content only an hour ago and enjoyed it a lot - especially Saskia's performances (nice to have a name to the face) and I have to admit, together with the wonderful costumes she makes a mighty fine gentleman. I'm jealous. Do you have connections to a costume designer specialising in historical costume or do the dancers research and sew their costumes themselves?

Very interesting, and well done! Would this typically have been performed by a couple? I always try to envision the dances performed in candlelight, as they must been originally.

What a beautiful performance! The music, the dance, the garments, just beautiful. She is so light on her feet, but graceful, and the dance has a happy, girly flair to it, thanks to the jumps and twirls and kicks. Very well done y'all, lots of love from Germany.

The importance of dance during European history from the Middle Ages up until (maybe) the XIX century cannot be understated. During the Renaissance and Baroque period, any lady or gentlemen worth their name had to be proficient in quite a few different dances. And they must be good at it to boot, lest they would have been frowned upon or worse. It was a matter of utter social importance, not just a pastime. We always tend to idealize the "simpler" times of the past. Yet we fail to acknowledge just how complex they were and how intricate social norms and customs were. Some were even a matter of life and death, like the ritual of taking the hat off when meeting another person. A hat not taken off at the appropriate moment could make the other feel insulted and end up in a duel. There was a gigantic contrast between the courtly rituals of dance and the fact that most men would be able to kill you without a second of hesitation if they needed to. I find it enormously interesting and intriguing. Thanks for sharing, I loved it.

❤🎉Armonia, eleganza, raffinatezza, equilibrio, bellezza, classe... Meraviglioso! Più tardi sarò in un castello molto antico che oggi è un magnifico museo e penserò a voi in quelle sale, sotto quei soffitti a cassettoni e tra le pareti straordinariamente affrescate, sareste in un luogo appropriato per voi artisti!❤❤❤

How interesting 😊

How does anyone know how this dance was done? It's been too long ago.

It's a beautiful dance!

lovely dance, what music is played?

Very sweet

Could you please share the name of the music for the 2nd place dance? Thank you.

Beautiful and sprightly. (Even the big girl is light on her feet.)

Amazing dancing and music ❤

Is it a She or He? I’m confused

I love having this as part of my cultural heritage. I used to look longingly at other cultures who actively practice their own music, dances and social rites, and I felt like I didn't have that. But I do! Centuries of documented practices that have evolved over time to produce a vast spectrum of traditions. So cool!

Is the woman Madeleine Béjart of Molière's troupe?

❤

Nice and pleasant music.

I am not a dancer, and I never was, but seeing this makes me feel regret. There is so much courteous nobility, so much elegance and so much beauty, and especially the third place hits the nail on its head.

Fun 😊❤

What a nice couple! Congratulations and blessings for you and all group members. Beautiful art, keep on it! Greetings from Peru

Bravissimi! 🎉😂❤

This was a fun dance to learn

I am from a whole different area where medieval times means ... The era of sultan. But still this hits different

Thoroughly enjoyed this and the music was just right.

What an elegant start to a concert!

What a sweet dance! And the recorders are perfect for the music, so light and fun like the dance!

❤Siete una indispensabile risorsa di bellezza, armonia, eleganza, cultura, poesia.... Grazie mille mille 😂🎉

Your group would fit nicely into the Hampton Court Palace Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, UK

❤always makes me smile 😊

Fantastic performance!

much similar to Russiaan and Irish dances

So elegantly performed, the live music really helps take the audience back in time with you

So graceful and measured. Thank you for bringing these dances to life.

❤Veramente e specialmente eleganti e aggraziati🎉

😊this brightened my day

Lovely! When I was learning from Helga Hill we danced this, but to the tune of Tomorrow Shall be My Dancing Day. Sumer Is Icumen In is much gentler.

So cute and dainty! ☺

Magnifica esecuzione 🎉❤ Bravissimi

😊👏👏👏
