Il Canario - Italian Renaissance Dance (Caroso 1580)

Filmed November 24, 2014 in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Music: Il Canario, CD: Dances by the Marian Ensemble, Heather M. Dale, Amphisbaena Music, 2001 From Rosina&instructions on her webpage: "Reconstruction based mostly on looking at the original, but partly on the one in The Renaissance Dance Book, by Bernard Thomas and Jane Gingell, and partly on the one I learned from Cindy Campbell of Il Pomo Verde. In the original version of the dance the format is Introduction, then three different Variations (the man doing them, then the woman repeating exactly), the section to change places, then three more Variations, and the Finale. The music I usually use is only enough for 2 Variations, with the Intro, Changing Sides and the Finale." Dance Instructions can be found on Rosina&website: For more fun, check out the SCA: www.sca.org
