The minuet is a traditional French dance which passed into the court of Louis XIV, reaching greater prestige with Louis XV. In the 18th century the court dances had spread throughout Europe, and the Caballeritos de Azkoitia introduced them into the Basque Country with the same costumes and Ballet steps, but introducing Basque peculiarities.
