Queen of the Dance: Damnes, a bassadanza for 3
- Countess Judith de Northumbria ( Rachel Lorenz)
- Main Hall on Friday at 3:30PM
Bassadanza is described by Cornazano as the Queen of the Dnace, an elegant syncopated rhythm that engenders grace and flirtation. Damnes is a very interesting dance for two men and one woman in which the men are clearly competing for her attention, and the lady is clearly enjoying it. The class assumes a basic knowledge of 15th c. dance; I will cover ornamentation and liberally spice the proceedings with first-hand accounts of dance in the 15th c.
Other classes by the teacher(s) listed above are highlighted yellow below.
