academie: Roman or German Dancing??

[Catherine E. Dean]

Rowen,

Alas, we don't know anything concrete about Roman dance (there are a 
few artistic images, but that's about it) and we know even less about the 
barbarian Germans.  The best I could suggest is doing some dances 
from the sixteenth century which carry out the Italy vs. Germany theme 
(Galliard or Pavan vs. Alman perhaps?).

Katherine

ps. how is the galliard practice going?
