In the 17th century baroque dance or "Beautiful Dance" is intimately linked to music.
The ornamentation of the dancer and the musician are connected.
Between elegance and virtuosity, dance was perceived, at the time, as the most perfect art, because it educated in the same time the body, and spirit.
More than 200 dance scores and treaties have come down to us, which now allows us to enjoy this heritage of great consistency.
