Renaissance Dance for the Early Dance Group

Dance for three people, performed recently at the Winter Warmup. Notes on my website (link in dance title above). Music: Gaita, Whatsoever ye Wyll. 

 

Showy set-dance for 10 people, with ribbons.

I'm teaching the reconstruction given in Joy and Jealousy, by Vivian Stephens and Monica Cellio, with only a couple of small changes. The music I'm using is "Ballare et Danzare" by Medeva.

 

Another three-person dance, with quite different figures to Voltati in ca Rosina.

Basic notes here, more complete notes to be added. 

Music: Gaita, Eschewynge of Ydlenesse (track name is Rostibolli). 

 

 

Circle-dance for 6 people. I've taught it here before, but would like to do it again with a little more detail in the steps. Gentle and elegant.

Notes on my website (link above), music by Alex Rossiter and Katherine Davies (provided). 

 

Another for 6 or 8 - interesting floor-patterns.

 

Set dance for as many couples as will. It's rather like an Italian duple-minor, but with all sorts of quirky paterns. At one point it turns into something like a branle or farandole, then back into a duple minor.

 

I'm aiming to have written instructions (on paper and my website) and music to give you.
