[MichalMedved]

@natxete96 Thanks! Always glad to please :P

[Petraphage]

@natxete96 You're right. These are the worst football player I've ever seen too. But they are pretty good at dancing.

So when Carly Simon sings, "you had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte" this is what she was singing about? I always thought the lyric was "as you watched yourself go by."

I think my version makes more sense. Who has never had one eye in the mirror as they watched themselves go by? What the hell was she singing about?

[jianshu]

I also thought it was "go by" man...wtf haha.

Gavotte doesn't seem like it fits into the song =/

[wieteke1]

is this the dance which they did in the renaissance?

[MotherofHeroes]

Yes. They are following instructions in Orchesographie, a French dance manual published in 1588. Accurately, including the kissin). The first dance is the first of the Scottish branles (not a Scottish dance) and then gavottes, which include elaborate passages taken from galliards. Very well done!

[MichalMedved]

Oh my: somebody noticed! ;)

We feel flattered. And thrilled to have such an educated audience!

[Dolanor]

I didn't comment it too, but yes, you did an awesome job. Even if I had the orchesographie, I didn't read it all, and your video help me learn the step for the gavotte. So I imported it in the medieval tavern of Paris and lots of people enjoy to dance it, and the musician to play it.

Next step for me is to master the galliard ^^' See you in 2 years :p

Thanks again for your work !

[Dolanor]

Haha, I've already posted ... I'm already senile ... ^^'

[MichalMedved]

Well, thank you!

Just be careful: we never say, that this is, how the dance actually looked like. Arbeau's rather vague descriptions allways lead you to some guesswork, at the end. So, yes, we do our best, to make it as cloe to the original text as possible, but one can never know...

But we are still glad to hear you like it ;)

[Fabyr]

Amazing!

[spidergem1]

nice drone on that bagpipe incredible!

[gmtdiato]

Merci,didn't notice before.[does it turn the sound into the room rather than into the rafters?]

[spidergem1]

it sounds like the drone is projecting around the room and the rafters

[Dolanor]

Excellent :) I just stayed about 2 hours to know how to dance the first steps of the gavotte (not the duo ^^)

great work

[MichalMedved]
