What are some common misconceptions about Baroque dance?
A common misconception about Baroque dance is that it is the same as classical ballet when, in fact, Baroque dance predates ballet and has its own distinct characteristics. Another misconception is that Baroque dance is overly rigid, whereas it actually involves a blend of structured patterns with expressive and sometimes improvisational elements, shaped by the music and the dancer’s interpretation.
