Il Canario - Nomen Est Omen.avi

"Il Canario" is a dance form of its own. It is one of the most complex dances in Cesare Negri's book "Le Gratie d'Amore". While it is basically similar to some of Negri's more complex balli, it has a number of steps and step sequences that are unique to the Canary dance form. There are several other sources for this dance. Marco Fabritio Caroso had a version in his book "Il Ballarino", and a different one in Nobilta di Dame. Livio Lupi di Caravaggio published a book titled "Libro di Gagliarda, Tordiglione, Passo e Mezzo, Canari e Passeggi" in 1607, which contained a large section on galliards and tourdions, many of the steps of which were taken from the canary dances, as well as a section on the canaries itself. The dance is thought to have originated from Spain, where it was purportedly derived from a dance done by the natives of the Canary Islands. The Medieval and Renaissance Nomen Est Omen Ensemble performed this Cesare Negri's Canario on Romanian Atheneum Stage, Bucharest, on 5 December 2010. http://www.nomenestomen.ro/
