[SCA-Dance] Italian dance workshop suggestions

[Mary Railing]

No, the other dance mentioned was Petit *Rose*, which someone said was on a Dolmetsch Historical Dance Society recording. That may be true, but I don't consider those "available", since they have to be ordered by mail from the UK in £ sterling. Bank fees and postage make that impractical for a single item. (Now, if someone were traveling abroad, who could bring some home . . . I just remembered that a certain music Laurel just got a grant to study in the UK...hmm?)

I thought Justin said "Petit Riens," of which there are many danceable 
recorded versions.

(who just worked out an alternate tune for Petit Rose based on an 
early-fifteenth-century chanson--but that's another story)
