[SCA-Dance] Translating Dance Names

I think translating the dance names just adds confusion.  Now people have 
to remember TWO names for the dance.  As for dreadful memnonics, people 
use them for country dances,too. For instance, around here Heartsease is 
known as "Spurn & Turn".  The problem with remembering dance names is that 
the name (in any language) so often has nothing to do with the character 
of the dance.
