Baile (Spanish play)

A baile (which means 'dance' in Spanish) or baile entremesado is a short theatrical piece in the Spanish Golden Age (Siglo de Oro) tradition.

[1] It consists of an elaborate production number with singing and dancing, and is used between the acts of a comedia.

Bailes were humorous performances featuring elaborate choreography and acrobatics.

Their themes were usually unrelated to the main performance during whose intermission they occurred.

[1] Baile is closely related to entremés and mojiganga.
