Position:Home>Dancing> Simple dances from the Renaissance?


Question:I'm doing a project for my Freshman English class with two friends and we'd like to do a dance for our class for a bit of extra credit. We only have until Wednesday morning to learn one so the simpler the dance, the better. If you know any steps from this time period, I would appreciate any tutorials or links that you might have available. Thank you!

Here is a basic outline

Most Dances of the period had to be restrained to basic steps due to the corsettry and large skirts worn - so any dance would/should be easy enough to learn, just the posture would need to be spot on to make it look stately...if you can get some hoop skirts to help with the effect.

Good luck
