pennsicdance: I am looking for origins of two dances--please help. Lady Barbara, al-Barran, Outlands

[Tracie Brown]

Dargason is in Playford, 1st edition (1651).  "Circle Waltz" is a type of 
dance, rather than one particular dance, but being a waltz, it is not 
appropriate for the SCA. If you want to learn it for outside the SCA, an 
international folk dance club would be your best bet.  Well Hall is not a 
period or conjecturally period dance, but the tune is beautiful.  You can 
find it here (among other places):
