This dance is by Giovannino, and the reconstruction is by Susan E. Kronenfeld and Bess Libby. The dance starts with 2 men and a lady standing in a half-moon figure. That is, with the men at each end and turned slightly inwards to face towards the lady in the middle. At the beginning of the dance, the dancers will need to be a fair distance apart, say or 3 paces. |
