I've posted a video of the more common 16th century Italian dance
steps on Youtube <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kPgDi0NNBc>
It's rather rough because I'm just learning how to use the video
editing software, and I haven't got the hang of smooth transitions
yet.  I would appreciate any comments or suggestions people have,
especially from people who don't already know how to do these steps.
Do my instructions make sense?  What else could I add that would be
helpful? (Film from more angles?  Show longer clips of just dancing?)
If I can get the bugs worked out, I plan to do a video of the more
"kicky" steps next, as well as how to do some specific dances.  We
filmed Contrapasso in Due already, but I haven't got it edited yet.
If anyone in or near Bloomington, Indiana wants to be a dancer in
future videos, please let me know.  I really need men who are able to
do the livelier dances..
