  StreetSwing's Dance History Archives - Sarabande Dance Page - Main1
The Sarabande (meaning noise) was of Moorish origin and came from Spain in the 12th.
It seems that the Sarabande was last danced at Duke of Burgandy's Wedding Ball in 1697 in Versailles as a social or society dance, however it continued on in theater and ballet.
The remaining part of the Sarabande was up to the dancer to interpret as they saw fit (the time signature varied as well.) The dance was considered a highly "#99FFCC">sensual, wild and exotic dance (but not as much as it's sister dance the Chacona) in nature.

 MTO 2.7: Handel, the Sarabande, and Levels of Genre
I hope to show how the Sarabande can be approached analytically as a unique work of art despite its similarity to other sarabandes, and to demonstrate that the flexibility required by such an approach precludes treatment of the piece as a "fixed or ideal (real) object" (Schulenberg, paragraph 3).
The hemiolic passages from the Sarabande and from the Musette from Handel's Concerto Grosso in G minor, op.
Even when Handel moves away from Sarabande topics through the introduction of atopical hemiolas at the stylistic level, he does so for the sake of thematizing the topics at the higher strategic level, through the articulation of sharp contrasts between the subphrases.
