Nido d'Amore, which is the name of the dance

@torzorrandem, you are clearly too cool for school... :)

[DancetimePublication]

There is a large instructional section. The complete costume hides the woman's feet. The underwear (as versus leotards) gives a feeling of the era, and shows how the body moves.

Isnt it strange how originally, it was the men who wore the most revealing clothes in dancing.

[ZetXardJormsot]

What's a pity that most of teenagers don't even know about that... They miss a lot. While waving their hands and legs like monkeys with terrible pop-music in clubs.

What are the names of the tunes?

I was born too late...

Suggested this music at a school dance...now no one wants to be my friend. I wish more people could appreciate this.

@JeremyNasmith ZetXard is not doubt referring to the "dance" of where people are essentially having sex with their clothes on. That isn't dance. That is just humping someone with clothes on. I find it exceptionally distasteful. As far as modern dance (real dancing), I have found those moves to be really amazing.

[OtakuDeathFang]

@ZetXardJormsot I agree, though I am a teenager I find historical dance and just history in general very interesting

[JeremyNasmith]

@ZetXardJormsot Final post:  Just so you know who is making these comments, I, Jeremy Nasmith, have performed Baroque dance, classical ballet, and various other contemporary and modern styles on international stages throughout North America, Europe, and Asia for the past 25 years. Respect dance! Respect the dedication of dancers! Respect the evolution of the human spirit and it's continued expression through the ever changing medium of dance!

[JeremyNasmith]

@ZetXardJormsot While it may be a pity that teenagers are unaware of Baroque or Renaissance dance, it's equally pitiable that you would compare current dance styles to the movements of monkeys before even attempting to understand or execute these new and varied styles of dance. Shameful!

@ZetXardJormsot Seriously?? Have you seen the styles of dances evolving in clubs these days? Pop-locking, tutting, liquid pop, break-dancing, hip-hop, etc. take an incredible amount of coordination and skill, and are often unbelievably virtuostic. If done musically and executed well technically, any dance form can be impressive. Once the technical aspect is mastered, the dancer has an enormous arsenal of steps/moves/gestures/jumps/tur­ns/lifts/throws/etc. to express any idea or character.
