Court dance history title

Court dancers basically referred to the dances of the upper classes such as Kings, Queens, Dukes, Duchesses etc. The court dances or dance's of court were many and varied (see dance list below) and were sometimes called 'Stately Dances or Society Dances'. In the early court dances the Pantomime played a major part of these dances and by 1550, the pantomime was all but forgotten.

The Basse dances or court dances were the start of the "Society Dance's" over time to the present.
