The Maroons, descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped to form independent communities in the Americas, engaged in various forms of entertainment that reflected their cultural heritage. They often participated in music and dance, using traditional African rhythms and instruments, such as drums, to celebrate significant events and foster community bonding. Storytelling and oral traditions were also essential, as they preserved history and cultural identity. Additionally, the Maroons held communal gatherings that included games and rituals, reinforcing their social ties and cultural practices.

When and how did ballet emerge?

Ballet emerged in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, evolving from court dances and elaborate entertainments. It was further developed in France during the reign of Louis XIV in the 17th century, who established the first ballet academy. The art form combined dance with music, poetry, and elaborate staging, leading to its formalization as a theatrical dance genre. Ballet's structured techniques and vocabulary were solidified in the 19th century, setting the foundation for modern ballet.


What entertainment was there in the time of Shakespeare?

There were bear and bull baiting and they liked to watch shows. Richer people could buy seats but poor people could not and had to be all squashed together standing up. They were so squashed they could not move anywhere so they'd pee themselves (but since there were no bathrooms in the theatre they had little choice anyway). There were also participatory entertainments: getting together to make music, playing cards and dice, lawn bowling, dancing and the old favourite, going down to the pub and having a few drinks with your mates.
