Abstract:

The 16th century was a period of significant changes in European culture, marked by the humanistic ideas of the Renaissance, the flowering of the arts, and the formation of new sociocultural practices. At this time, dance took an important place in public life, becoming not only entertainment, but also an expression of the aesthetic, ethical, and social values of the era. Domestic dances became an integral part of both court life and the everyday life of different strata of society.

The development of dance culture in the 16th century was due to a number of factors: the growth of cities, the formation of the bourgeoisie, changing ideas about art and beauty, as well as the influence of scientific and technical achievements. An important role in the formation and popularization of dance practices was played by the treatises of Italian-Spanish masters, such as Fabrizio Caroso and Cesare Negri. Their works laid the foundations for the development of dance as a systematized discipline and ensured its preservation as part of the cultural heritage.

The 16th century became the period of the Renaissance, when there was a rejection of medieval views of the world and the revival of ancient ideas began. This cultural movement contributed to the development of choreographic arts. Humanistic ideas emphasized the importance of the human personality and emotions, which was reflected in dance forms.

The interaction of professional and everyday dance culture revealed trends in the creation of everyday dance forms and their adaptation to the social needs and aesthetic demands of different segments of the population.

The prospects of iconographic and textual analysis of the study of illustrations, descriptions of dances in treatises, literary sources and other documents of the era will provide new opportunities for a deeper understanding of the style, form and technique and transformations of everyday dance  culture in transitional periods, in particular in the late 16th – early 17th centuries, to trace the dynamics of development. Studying the possibilities of reconstructing everyday dances of the 16th century based on historical sources to popularize this cultural heritage in modern art. Study of the roles of women and men in domestic dances, the symbolism of gestures and movements, and the social norms that influenced dance behavior.

Keywords: choreographic art, European culture, everyday dance culture, pavana, galleys.
