Sažetak
My five-year practical participation in The International Summer School of Baroque Music and Dance Aestas Musica, led me to find out more about the influence of Renaissance and Baroque dance periods on dances of today. Starting from the Renaissance and continuing through the Baroque period, I will try to present the development of social court dances in Western Europe. Italian fifteenth century dances, French dance noble, English country dances are all part of the social court dances of Western Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Dance steps used today in performing mainly classical dances have been determined by structural movement that has been used in the Italian, French and English courts. Some of the steps of that time were being standardized and are in a different way used even today in classical ballet. That is why we can say that Renaissance and Baroque social dances are the beginning of classical ballet. Today we can reconstruct dances from Renaissance and Baroque periods thanks to dance manuals that were written by dance teachers. Those manuals contain other interesting perspectives on court behavior that were very important influences on dance construction and steps. Renaissance and Baroque dances are still very alive since they are reconstructed and danced on stages all over the world.
