What I Learned

I learned that Baroque dancing was much slower and more ridged becuase of how heavy the costumes were. I also learned that with romantic ballets becuse of the change of attire the dancers were more free to move. The music is also very different in the two time periods. The staging was also different because in baroque dance it was mainly two people and not too much movemnt and didn't have ot be done on a stage, but with romantic ballet it is a full production with multiple people and require lighting and someimes special effects.

Three questons: Do you think that there would be a difference in how the dances were percieved if Baroque dance was done to romantic music and vice versa? How would the dances be different if the costumes were swapped? If romantic ballet was done in the baroque era, and vice versa, would there be a difference in the dances popularity and ratings?
