“As one would expect from Paige Whitley-Bauguess, her two-volume videotape Introduction to Baroque Dance is a model of clarity, taste, and stylistic dancing. The introduction and commentary is absolutely invaluable to both musicians and dancers. There is informed musical accompaniment led by Julie Andrijeski (baroque violin), and Hugh Murphy (harpsichord) who are also experienced baroque dancers. Beautifully costumed Ms. Whitley-Bauguess, and her partner Thomas Baird, perform in an appropriate period setting.

A baroque dance and music tape of such scholarly and artistic excellence has long been sorely needed. I can recommend it without reservation.”
