10 15th Century Italian DanceLa SpagnaThis is a relatively simple Italian Bassa Danza. It isuncharacteristic in that it begins the dance, after the openingRiverenza and Continenzas, on the right foot instead of theleft. The dance is done in a line of couples, as for a pavane,with the ladies on the right.Part 1 1 RvR Riverenza on the right foot.2 CnR CnL Two continenze, right then left.3 SR SL Two singles.4 - 7 DR DL DR DL Four doubles.8 RpB Reprise backwards.Part 2 9 SL SR Two singlesNote that the dancechanges back to theleft foot at this point.10 - 11 DL DR Two doublesDrop hands, then turn to face your partner, and take their right hand inyour right hand. 512 - 13 RpL RpR Move sideways to the left (away fromyour partner) then back towards yourpartner.Turn back to face the front of the line, joining hands again.Part 3 14 SL SR Two singles15 – 16 DL DR Two doubles 6 .17 - 18 RpT RpB Drop hands for this sequence, ripresaturning, then a ripresa backwards.5 This is my best guess based on doing this dance. This applies to all of these Bassa Danze with "turn and face, then riprese"sections in them like this (eg: Reale, Pietosa). It is quite a common theme in the basse danze and balli of the 15th Century, and Ihave also used this in the riprese - turn - riprese sections in a few of the balli.6 “and one contra doppio turning backwards on the right foot”. Your guess is as good as mine! I always dance the second doppiomoving forwards to avoid confusion with the riprese to follow.
15th Century Italian Dance 11RealeThis is a basse danze for two, which could also be done by a line ofcouples. It is similar to La Spagna, being relatively simple and can bedone to the same music (being 18 bars long). It begins without theintroductory riverenza and continenze, and on the left foot, changing to theright foot after the first part. The dance appears in Guglielmo's "DeiPratica seu Arte Tripudii", which is available in translation by BarbaraSparti. Guglielmo does not claim ownership of the dance, however, as heattributes it to Domenico. There are a number of dances in Guglielmo'swork that he credits to Domenico in this manner.Part 1 1 SL SR Two singles2 - 5 DL DR DL DR Four doubles, beginning with the leftfoot.6 RpL Riprese to the left.Part 2 7 - 8 SR SL DR Two singles and a double, starting onthe right foot. At the end of thissequence, turn to face your partner,taking right hands.9 - 10 RpL RpR Riprese left then right. At the end ofthis sequence, turn to face the frontagain, taking hands.Part 3 11 - 12 SL SR DL Two singles and a double, starting onthe left foot.13 RvR Riverenza on the right foot.Part 4 14 SRb SLb Two singles going backwards, startingon the right foot.
