thank you!

As you may have read the choreography ( the dance part) is an actual choreography written in 1680ish, the music is also from that period, amazing hey?

This is a really good video clip! I love the dance and the commedia dell'arte... pretty good stuff!

[mehlindaheartt2344]

thank you for your beautiful comments. We sure love what we do. We have more footage maybe we'll post something new. Do you like to dance or act?/

this is awsome especially when commedia dell'arte is mainly improvisation so they might of made all that up

hahaha. this is awesome. ive gotta write this script.and im il capitano. so this was a really good source of inspiration. Shot man!

it shows how flexible the mask is that you're able to perform a dance like that while playing him. it was interesting, though the baby was a little distracting. and it's a pity it wasn't better lit. but anything that promotes the commedia is good :)

Reminds me of the good old days, but before my time. I was born in the 1740s...
