	Minuet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stylistically refined minuets, outside of the social dance context, were introduced — to opera at first — by Jean-Baptiste Lully, and in the late 17th century the minuet was adopted into the suite, such as some of the suites of Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Händel.
		A minuet was often used as the final movement in an Italian overture.
		Initially, before its adoption in context outside of social dance, the minuet was usually in binary form, with two sections of usually eight bars each, but the second section eventually expanded, resulting in a kind of ternary form.

	Dance Terms and Definitions, Dance terminology
		The dance was characterized by a series of walking steps on the toes, executed with an elegant type of swagger - frequently punctuated with a light hop in attitude at an appropriate point in the musical phase.
		A typical variation was a quick gallop step danced by a procession winding in and out in single file, headed by a musician who played a drum and fife at the time skipping along without losing a beat.
		It consists of a salute to the partner, a high step and a balance, and is characterized by symmetrical figures, courtly gestures, elaborate bows and curtsies.

		A Springing Step, is perform'd two ways, either by springing and falling on the same Foot which moves forward, which I shall, for the future, call a Bound; or springing and falling on the Foot that does not move forward, which I shall call a Hop.
		I have already shewn, that all Steps and half Positions, which have but one Point at either of their Extremities, signify either the pointing of the Toe, or placing the Heel, without the Body's bearing on it; but when there happens to be two Points, it then shews, that the Body must bear upon it.
		Steps which move streight, opening sideways, shall be taken to be in Second the Position, and Steps crossing, whether forwards or backwards, shall be taken to be in the fifth Position.

	The Covent Garden Minuet Company - 18th century baroque dance - the minuet
		The minuet was the most fashionable dance in the late 18th century ballroom.
		Most baroque music was dance music, and so terms such as minuet, sarabande, gigue, bourée and gavotte refer both to a type of baroque music, and to the dances that were performed to them.
		The 'noble' style was danced both socially, by ladies and gentlemen in the ballroom, and professionally, by actors and dancers in the theatre.

	How to dance the revived ancient dances. By Ardern Holt.
		I therefore, while detailing their history, propose to give the actual steps as they ought to be rendered, and as far as possible bring to the notice of modern dancers the grace of movement, the dignity of gesture, and the knowledge and earnestness which characterised them in the past.
		A circular step outwards has an interlaced circle at the top of the indication of the open step, and waving steps are represented by a sort of triple zigzag.
		There is a table of steps in these treatises on chorography, so that a composer wishing to reduce any dance he might have invented into a diagram, must decide what part of the room to begin in and from there start the tract, and on it place the insignias which indicate the different movements.

	HOW TO DANCE A MINUET
		There were many variations of the minuet step, dozens of versions of setting or show-off steps, and several ways to “cast off one couple.” Dancers would dance differently depending on where they were, who they were, who was watching and also probably how much liquor they had consumed.
		The minuet ia danced by one couple alone on the floor while the rest of the company looks on.
		The number of minuet steps* used in the each figure depends on the length of the tune and the size of the dancing space.

		The Sink or Beginning of the Movement, that prepares for the Fleuret or second Part of the Minuet Step, as it will be named from now on, being made, there only remains to rise from the Sink aforesaid in the stepping forwards of the left Foot(u) to the first.
		It is to be noted, that it always begins with the right and ends with the left Foot; and it is performed faster or slower, according to the Tune that is played, which the Dancer is obliged to follow.

		And maybe this is farfetched (not having seen the movie) but I noticed in the lyrics that the first time that the refrain "to the right" is preceeded by a mention of the minuet (We'll dance together to the same minuet/To the right, ever to the right).
		It's been a long time but as I recall that when you dance a minuet you start with the weight on the left foot and the first movement is to the right.
