FAQ About The Influence of Baroque Dance on Modern Performance

Why did Baroque dance decline in popularity?
Baroque dance began to decline in popularity towards the end of the 18th century due to changing tastes and the evolution of dance styles. The rise of classical ballet, with its emphasis on virtuosity and individual expression, gradually replaced the more formal and courtly Baroque dance forms. Additionally, societal changes and the waning influence of European courts contributed to the fade of Baroque dance.
