Early court dances were typically performed by members of the nobility, including kings, queens, and aristocrats, as a display of status and refinement. These dances often included elaborate formations and intricate choreography, showcasing both the dancers' skills and the court's cultural sophistication. Additionally, professional dancers and musicians were often hired to perform at these events, enhancing the overall spectacle.

What were the two popular dances during Elizabethan times?

The formal (Court) dances included the volte and the pavanne but there are lots of dances collected by Playford (and published from 1650 onwards) that date back to the Elizabethan era and include HUNSDON HOUSE, a square dance, which includes the earliest example of a grand square. Other early dances include NONSUCH and GATHERING PEASCODS. Around the same time, running set was taken from England to the Appalachian mountains by Puritans.

What ballroom dances did people do during Shakespeare's time?

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.
