"Produced in France and featuring both English and French audio tracks, The Art of Baroque Dance: Folies d'Espagne from Page to Stage is a stellar survey of the nuances of traditional 17th century dance, as it has been preserved and practiced up to the modern day. Historical and arhitectural images intersperse this wondrously informative examination of Baroque dance notation, treatment of space, arm embellishments, relation to music, and interpretation of the dancer. Director and choreographer Natalie Van Parys applies her years of experience in Baroque dance companies in this one-of-a-kind DVD presentation enthusiastically recommended for anyone interested in the rich cultural history of Baroque dance." Midwest Book Review
"The French production The Art of Baroque Dance amply illustrates the process of recreating a Baroque dance... Enriched by lovely cinematography and period instruments, this fine production can be enjoyed by dance professionals and casual viewers alike. Highly recommended."
Randy Pitman, Editor, Video Librarian
"Just as museums preserve works representative of the artistic creation of a specific era, so this video is conceived as a “museum of the dance,” designed to safeguard the fruits of years of Baroque dance research for future generations." DANCE VIVALDI "Exposing your children to the performing arts is always a fantastic way to broaden their knowledge. If you enjoy Ballet or want to enlighten your children, this is a wonderful video that everyone can enjoy. Watch as the performers bring the seasons to life through the art of Baroque dance." “DANCE VIVALDI, choreographed by Marie Genevieve Masse, is a haunting neoclassical ballet reminiscent of Balanchine's early works. The abstraction of traditional 18th century dance phrases mixed with the fire and passion of Vivaldi's music is highly inventive.”
