This is the best dancing I've ever seen in my life

[@MonplaisirDanceCompany]

Спасибо большое 😊

A beautiful performance, but I wonder why the cinematographer opted to only show us one half of the dancer's body in any given shot. When I watch a dance video, I want to see the dancer's dance, not her face.

[@moiraruff3292]

Absolutely!

[@ENIGMAXII2112]

There is nothing, and I mean nothing. That even compares to a Baroque performance with period style surroundings.
Quite simply, lovley wonderfully beautiful...

[@danawinsor1380]

How lovely! I believe learning this and other baroque dances is quite difficult. In fact, French court dance was the basis of what was to become ballet in the 19th century.

Sublimely elegant. Those were the days!

This reminds me so much of the old Barbie movies. Superb!

Yes! There are some"The Princess and the Pauper" vibes. " I just like you, you just like me..")))

[@FannyPlusvi]

Both are doing the same steps but for me the girl in the dark brown dress dances beautifully (perhaps is her long neck that makes her look very elegant)

[@MichaelCallicrate]

Yes! Her longer graceful neck, arms, and legs, altogether more graceful, elegant proportions, lend her movements added grace and elegance!

[@laurentdevaux5617]

Just a word : divine !

[@impposter560]

The dancer in yellow really made me feel like she was genuinely from the Baroque period, it was incredible. They both danced so beautifully, but the first dancer was definitely embodying the spirit of the times more, I believe

[@MonplaisirDanceCompany]

Thank you very much!

[@MichaelCallicrate]

I have to disagree. I found the second dancer in the dark dress, whose arms and legs were longer proportioned, danced with much more beauty and grace!

[@spaspieler5687]

I cannot decide, which one.... they both did great! _But I like the darker dress better. 🙂

@@MonplaisirDanceCompany my pleasure. If you do requests, I would love to see your interpretation of the Passacaille, from Jean-Baptiste Lully's 'Armide'. Act V. Scene 1.

[@MonplaisirDanceCompany]

Thank you 😊
Armide - one love 💕 We have a lot of interpretation of this dance. The last one - czcams.com/video/jcBIyt5HN1Y/video.html (first dance). Another one czcams.com/video/a3BMlsmpLmE/video.html (last dance).

It's hard to dance but beautifull

[@jesteryte]

Why can't we see the footwork? It's the most important part of the dance.

[@user-xh2fl9me6u]

Восхитительно!!!

[@Lespace2]

It’s like Russian Ballet: From everything to much! I’m in a sugar coma …

[@raidolill5134]

From which script is this choreography coming from?

[@MonplaisirDanceCompany]

Based on choreography written by L'abbe, 1730
But this is not an exact reconstruction, since the notated dance is solo for one lady.

[@raidolill5134]

@@MonplaisirDanceCompany good to know from where to find it. Well done! 😊
