Hello to all! This dance looks beautiful. But if you want to see these dances live today you can look at my culture's dances. I am Macedonian (not Greek) and we still dance like this even a circle called an oro (exactly like this or holding hands in various ways). The music for this dance is very simular to some of the folk songs and dances.

It looks great! Thanks for sharing it!

I like the gowns. I think I am also aware of differences between medieval and renaissance music. This one is something in between - late medieval to early renaissance, perhaps. That is why they might be dressed still medieval but the dance can be more into renaissance, I guess. Early renaissance dress is often confused with medieval, too. In this case, they are actually wearing proper medieval kirtles and overgowns/surcoats. :-)

I have a question... why do you dance a renaissance dance in medieval gowns?

[Bendbow]

I really enjoyed the performance . I have been a dancing master in the Society for Creative Anachronism in Canada for nearly twenty years . Well done again !!!

In service to An Tir and Avacal,

What an interesting version of Horses Branle! I admired the gowns too!

[Branwhin]

That's a really pretty Horses' Bransle! I'd never done it that way before. Lovely dresses, too.
