    Renaissance instrumental music developed its own forms while being influenced by dance music. It did not equal vocal music in quantity or quality during this period. Instruments were used to back vocalists and some forms borrowed from vocal music while others were newly invented. Improvisation was also important. Renaissance dance was a social activity where educated people were expected to know different types of dances like the slow pavane, fast galliard, and moderate allemande.
