Answer Details
(a) The Baroque dance is the sarabande. [1] A sarabande is identified by its triple time (3/4), slow and stately tempo, and characteristic emphasis on the second beat of the bar. Originally a lively dance from Latin America, by the Baroque period it had become a dignified, expressive movement within the dance suite.
(b) Another dance commonly found in a Baroque suite: any of the following would be accepted: allemande, courante, gigue, bourree, gavotte, or minuet. [1] A standard Baroque suite typically contains four core movements (allemande, courante, sarabande, gigue) with optional dances such as the bourree, gavotte, or minuet inserted between the sarabande and gigue.
