Anmut (Gratia) und Schicklichkeit, Würde (Decoro) gehörten in früheren Jahrhunderten zu den wichtigsten Tugenden des Tanzes der höfischen Gesellschaft. Aristokratisch geprägt hatte der Tanz auch immer die Funktion der Representatio, der Darstellung der eigenen Person vor den Augen der Zuschauer, die ihrerseits auch Kenner und Könner der Materie waren. Der Bewegungsstil, der daraus erwuchs, zeichnet sich durch variationsreiche Schritte, äußerste Feinheit und Nuancenreichtum aus. Die Sensation liegt sozusagen im Detail.

Du XVe siècle à la Renaissance, nous connaissons essentiellement la danse de cour. Bien danser, savoir chanter et jouer d’un instrument permettaient de tenir avec grâce et dignité son rang dans la société. La Renaissance en musique et en danse est caractérisée par l’introduction dans le registre courtois de formes et d’éléments populaires. C’est ainsi qu’une part importante est accordée aux rondes, facteur de convivialité et de cohésion sociale.
