Corona

 



This is another of the basse danze by Domenico that is done by a line of couples. It is slightly more complex than La Spagna, although not greatly. There is no pattern to the dance, unfortunately -- Guglielmo describes it as a “challenging bassadanza, not for people who scribble on paper”.
