the Crosston dance ball list, with helpful videos

[ppfuf]

Horses Bransel, done in a circle. This group does each chorus twice, the first time not changing partners and the second time changing.  Kings & Beggars - Branle des Chevaulx

Rufty-Tufty Stante Pede - Rufty Tufty or prittier video but less useful Rufty tafty - Playford: "The English Dancing Master" (1653) - Chorea Antiqua

Villanella This reconstruction has different represa than we usually do, but the outline of the dance is very close. Villanella by "Vento del Tempo" and "Lorem ipsum"

Black alman. This reconstruction does a much higher foot lift in the Alman steps, and the high skater’s hold is kinda funky, but the dance is otherwise well done. Black Almain dance - Tanzgruppe Saltatio Burgus - Coswig 2011

Can’t find a video for Mayden Lane

Contrapsso with the dance we do to the music we do also doesn’t exist on the internet. The versions out there are radically different reconstructions.

Cuckholds all in a Row, Cuckolds All In A Row

Heart’s Ease, starts with the chorus and has a horrible voice over from the audience. Consider watching with sound off: Heartsease

Pavan, a generic primer on Pavane steps, 039 Renaissance Dance Pavane

Galliard, generic primer on simple galliard steps, and a clip of an 11-step galliard. Useful info about 1 minute into this clip, The Majesty of Renaissance Dance (2010)

Conto dell'Orco, no videos

Pinwheel to the Lorayne Alman, no videos

Old Mole, there’s some videos, but none that look like our reconstruction

Petit Riense, whoa…they do it without holding hands: Petit Riense - Gruppo Danza Rinascimentale "La Fortunosa") or Petit Riense - ALLA DANZA

Queen’s Alman, Saltatriculi - Qeen's Almain

Rostiboli Gioiso, with some odd partner swapping Rostiboli

Contentezza d’Amore, this couple does a really cute little chase figure in the ordinarios-away figure: Contentezza d'Amore

Boatman, there’s a few confusing moments, and they have an interesting interpretation of the third chorus’s circle (they leave the 2nd person in the mushpot). English Country Dance - Boatman (Toronto Frolics in the Hey)

Old Alman, no hits

Stingo, nothing that looks like our reconstruction

Dance de Cleves, Danse des Cleves

Gathering Peascods, this video starts at the chorus and has a horrible voice-over from audience, Gathering Peascods and NJRK 2010 Gathering Peascods.mpg

Jenny Pluck Pears, Jenny pluck Pears - Playford: "The English Dancing Master" (1653) - Chorea Antiqua
