Court Dancing

Court dancing refers to a formal style of dance historically performed at royal and aristocratic events, often in a palace or court setting. It involved coordinated, elegant movements, emphasizing grace, posture, and social etiquette. These dances served both as entertainment and as a display of social status and refinement. Typically, they included specific patterns, figures, and sequences, and were danced in groups or pairs. Today, court dancing influences many classical and ballroom dance styles, preserving its emphasis on formality and elegance.
