Minuet - that is the correct spelling. In music and dance, a minuet is a dance from the baroque era. It is usually done in A B A form, in 3 time and is very graceful.

A minuet, sometimes spelled menuet, is a social dance of French origin for two persons, usually in 3/4 time. The word was adapted, under the influence of the Italian minuetto, from the French menuet, meaning small, pretty, delicate, a diminutive of menu, from the Latin minutus; menuetto is a word that occurs only on musical scores.

"Waiter, give me the minuet-the tiny menu!" Hah!

a minuet is a parlor dance , much like a waltz that was done a long time ago. It was a formal courting dance, done slowly.

The musical term is pronounced min-yu-ETT. And that definition has already been given. So perchance you didn't mean the musical term but the adjective.

Minute (pronounced min-OOT) means detailed, unimportant, insignificant, fine, tiny.
