@artemissalena Actually the dancers are doing an educational demo of the steps for a pavane, complete with conversion - a processional dance (think bride going down the aisle and the like). That part is from one of the videos published by the American Library of Congress. Some dances were formal, some were flirty or downright silly (miming dances, for example).

Is this a renaissance country, or court dance?

[speardock]

It is a court dance as far as I know.

Those Elizabethans really knew how to party. Jokes aside, loved this.
