They would not have called them "ballroom dances", but there were a number of dances which were performed at court and at other upper class functions. Most of these dances involved pairing off with partners at least part of the time. The Galliard and Gavotte were athletic dances, as was the Volta, which involved the female partner, supported by the male, leaping into the air! The Pavane, on the other hand, was a slow, stately dance.
Dancing was also popular among the lower classes, but their dances, such as Jigs or Brawls, were not danced with partners, but more often in a ring.
