Long abstractThe chapter presents the minuet as a dance form of different social classes in Denmark, from the seventeenth until the early nineteenth century. It addresses the significance of the dance as part of the Danish court but also in early urban culture and among the peasants. The chapter also discusses the role of the minuet in nineteenth-century dance schools where dance teachers deliberately kept it as a part of their repertoire although the dance no longer was popular in social dancing.
