[SCA-Dance] Sca-dance Digest, Vol 28, Issue 13

[John-Michael Robinson]

The left and right parts were changes made by a group with a short dance
hall.  Historicly the pavan was a processional, moving forward.  Though a
90' turn could be made by steping back with one foot instead of forward.  My
understanding is that all the other "Pavans" known in the SCA were created
because people got bored with the basic pavan step.
