A "Dance Suite" is a collection of musical pieces, typically composed for orchestras or small ensembles, that are inspired by various dance forms. Each movement in the suite often reflects a specific style or rhythm, such as the Waltz, Sarabande, or Gigue. These suites can be performed in concert settings or as part of theatrical productions. Historically, dance suites gained popularity during the Baroque period, with composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel creating notable examples. The structure of a dance suite usually includes several contrasting movements, allowing musicians to showcase their skills while providing an engaging experience for the audience.
