Salto in gagliarda (Compasso)

Source: 
Compasso (1560)
Translation of name: 
How to learn to do the salti that one can do in the dance of the galliard.
Translation: 

Stand with feet even, a little apart, and put the left foot [back foot?] at the heel of the right foot, and suddenly rise from the ground turning yourself to the right hand, coming to rest on the toes of your feet, straight, with the kneels a little apart to give grace.
