[SCA-Dance] Dance music in Assassin's Creed?

[Mary Railing]

The game where dance skill is crucial is Sid Meier's Pirates.  Your character needs to impress various governors' daughters by dancing with them at balls. You have to match her moves to succeed through increasingly complex dances. It's still more a DDR reaction speed check than any real choreography, but at least the game acknowledges the importance of dancing skill for a would-be gentleman.

Thanks everyone!  Interesting.  Cute dance.  But what is the age of the dance?  I found one line from searching:
"This dance is from Charles Bolton, More of the Same,1986. Tune (name not given) by Phalèse, 1580"

So is it purely a modern choreography to a nice tune they found?


Hmm, I was hoping that there would be a few more than just 2 dance tunes in the game.  (this one, and Salterello II)  Seems like a missed opportunity.  :)

Yeah, these games obviously need our skills as dance reconstructors / choreographers.  :)

Thank you! I knew I had it somewhere. It's on the old Ulsamer Collegium album Trepsichore: Tanzmusik der Renaissance.
