Who can introduce the history of English court dance, English culture and manor culture?

In Europe in 15 and 16 centuries, princes and nobles began to fall in love with a kind of dance, with gorgeous music and light and solemn dancing, which had strict rules on dance steps, manners, manners and dance procedures. This kind of dance is a status symbol. Women should fully show their reserve and nobility at the dance, and men should show their chivalry and elegance. At the ball, the king and queen usually perform first, and then start in turn according to their social status. Participants used the opportunity of dancing to show their gorgeous costumes, noble manners, supreme status and glory.

/kloc-In the late 5th century, court dance has become an important part of luxury celebrations. At that time, aristocratic knights not only required to be proficient in riding and fencing, but also had to master skilled dance steps, which almost became the personal behavior standard of knights and also a means to enter the upper class and engage in social activities. This kind of dance is not only an indispensable part of the royal family's entertainment life, but also a means to educate aristocratic children and cultivate them with the cultural accomplishment and etiquette style needed by the ruling class.

However, this aristocratic temperament should be reflected everywhere, because dance actually comes from folk dance. /kloc-at the end of 0/4, folk dances entered the castles of princes and nobles. At first, the simple and enthusiastic folk dance developed into ball dance and palace dance after entering the court, which has the characteristics of solemn etiquette.

At the same time, western dance music entered its first prosperous period in the15th century, which was the result of the enthusiasm of European courts at that time.

During the Renaissance in Europe, the court ballroom dancing appeared gorgeous queue steps, which were called "Simone Pavan" and "pull down". At that time, Queen Elizabeth I danced a ballroom dance called "Walter" in the court (but it should be noted that this is different from the current ballroom dance, and the two are not cuddling together), and then this dance became popular in Europe.

In the16th century, a pair of dance music similar to "Papan Dance" appeared, which was composed of two dances with different speeds, namely, the front dance and the back dance.

This kind of dance music developed to the middle of17th century and was gradually replaced by a "classical suite" composed of four dances. In the days that followed, minuets, Scottish dances and other forms appeared. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, another new form of dance music came into being, and it has since become the absolute mainstream of social dance music. Until today, we still can't ignore its importance, that is, the waltz.

17 17, Handel's "Water Music" dedicated to King George I of England can be said to be a masterpiece of dance music. Because it was played by George I when he visited the Thames, it was called "water music".

The original suite consists of 10 ditties, which are divided into three groups: French horn suite, trumpet suite and trombone suite. The performance lasted for an hour. At first, it was a French prelude, followed by blaise, minuet and other forms of dance music, including slow motion. The author used violin, double bass, German flute, French flute, oboe, bassoon, horn and trumpet. 1922, British composer and conductor Hattie selected six songs and adapted them into popular versions.

/kloc-in the middle and late 7th century, public dance halls first appeared in Britain, and most of the dances were Gong Ting dances taught by dance teachers in the royal residence. However, there are more and more middle class and ordinary people in the ballroom, and the formality and seriousness of court dance can no longer meet their needs. As a result, new dances with simple steps and free forms were introduced into the ballroom one after another, while the ancient palace dance gradually disappeared from people's sight and became notes, which became a way for composers to express their feelings and a dance at the fingertips of performers.

/kloc-in the middle of the 0/7th century, ballroom dancing gradually changed from solemn and gorgeous to noble, light and lively style. King Louis XIV of France loved dancing, and an elegant and fast "dancing with Aite", also known as "minuet", prevailed in the court at that time. It has been popular all over Europe for a long time. Many famous musicians such as Bach and Mozart have written minuets. There are many classical pieces named after "minuets", among which Bach's "minuets in G minor" is the most famous.

Because of its complicated etiquette and rules, court dance was introduced into social occasions, but today, we can still vaguely see the shadow of European court dance from many ballets.
