Term 3 Class 2

We continued many things we danced last week.

In the first hour we danced:

• Branles - circle dances
• Scots branles (or "Branles de l'Escosse")
• Washerwomen's branle (or "Branle des Lavandieres")
• Pinagay
• Old Measures - stately dances for couples in a column
• Lorrayne Almain
• Black Almain
• 15th Century Italian dances
• Petit Riens (follow-the-leader dance for three people in a line)
• Anello (for four people in a square)
• Heart's Ease (an English Country Dance, from the 17th century, for 4 people in a square)

In the second hour, we did several more challenging dances, as usual:

• Lioncello Vecchio - a 15th century Italian dance for a couple
• La Figlia di Guglielmino - a complex 15th century Italian dance for a couple, with many timing-changes
• Amoroso - a 15th century Italian dance for a couple.

Another excellent evening of dancing.
