Product Description

LEARN TO DANCE an Italian Renaissance dance suite: Nido d'Amore, The Nest of Love. HOW TO DANCE THROUGH TIME, Volume III explores the social and technical intricacy of Renaissance dance. One dance, Nido d'Amore, exposes the techniques for all the major dance suites of the era. The refined introduction,The Opening, explodes into male virtuoso display, The Galliard, builds to mutual ecstasy; The Saltarello, and culminates in a statement of strong individualism, The Canary. This suite mirrors the episodic changes of courtship. As with all the HOW TO DANCE THROUGH TIME videos, the dance is introduced with a concise, historical overview illustrated with authentic photographs and drawings. All of the steps are carefully researched from authentic period manuscripts. Each instruction shows close up views and slow motion so that easy learning is possible. Professional dancers demonstrate step details. Following the instructional section, dancers perform the entire suite with the authentic music and fashions of the era. Production of the How To Dance Through Time series follows rave reviews from critics, dance experts, libraries, colleges, dance lovers, and historians who have enthusiastically embraced the two volume video set, DANCETIME! 500 Years of Social Dance.
