Baroque dance is European dance from the 17th and 18th centuries. It includes social dance in the "Noble Style", and theatrical dance until around the 1760s, when Noverre's ideas started to transform baroque ballet into the romantic and classical ballet familiar to today's audiences.
Common dance types of the period include the minuet, passepied, French courante, sarabande, bourée, gavotte, rigaudon, gigue, loure, chaconne and passacaille.
