<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal">International Baroque dancing stars Paige Whitley-Bauguess
and Thomas Baird perform authentic Baroque dances in period costumes, backed by
the La Follia Baroque Ensemble. Experience the art that was performed by no
less a personage than King Louis XIV himself. After this performance, your trip
to the dance hall will never feel quite the same again. Ms. Whitley-Bauguess
will present a free lecture on Baroque dance 30 minutes prior to the start of
the performance.</div>

<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal">Background </div>
<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal">Although many other forms of social and theatrical dance existed
in the world during the Baroque period, the term Baroque Dance is often used in
reference to the French noble dance style and technique of the late 17th- and
early 18th-centuries. Cultivated by the dancing masters and dance activities at
the court of Louis XIV, the style greatly influenced dancing in ballrooms and
theatres throughout Europe. French dancing masters were prized commodities and
French dances, via dance notation, were danced all over Europe while the French
dancing manuals were translated (and paraphrased) into various languages. </div>
<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal">The Artists </div>
<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal">Baroque dancer Paige Whitley-Bauguess interprets, recreates,
and performs Baroque theatre dance in venues all over the world as a soloist
and with her dance partner Thomas Baird. Prior to teaming up, they were
both members of the New York Baroque Dance Company, then under the co-direction
of Catherine Turocy and Ann Jacoby.</div>
<div class="yiv1554918579MsoNormal">The duo's critically acclaimed collaborations have excited
and educated audiences in the US, Canada, and Japan, garnering repeat
invitations for the duo to work with some of the finest Baroque music groups in
the world. Highlights include repeat concerts with the Little Orchestra Society
at Lincoln Center and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra of Vancouver, their
reconstruction of the courtly entertainment Le Mariage de la Grosse Cathos in
Tokyo and Shizuoka, Japan, Bailles y Danzas, a program they created especially
for performances with Chatham Baroque, and Harlequin Unmasked, a program of
commedia dell' arte dance and music with REBEL.</div>
