Hello, can u pls explain more baroque steps? Thank you

[@martinlewis1583]

I like your videos - very helpful and clear. My one problem is the music you add bears no relation to the steps, and I find that distracting. Sorry. Otherwise good work! Thank you.

C'est dommage que cette dame présente la belle dance en tenue de femme de ménage du 21e siècle 😢

This is not the maid uniform; it is a dance/fitness outfit suitable for demonstrating dance movements rather than dress movements. There are plenty of costumed videos for the style presentations. This was not aimed at this. I am often saddened that the majority of musicians play dance music from the past periods without dancers, et al. In your videos, you use a female wind instrument player, which was not possible during the Baroque period as it was considered vulgar for women to perform on these instruments.
