A Summary of Dancing at Pennsic 22

Lord Guillaume de San Marino was in charge of dance, Lord Miklos Sandorfia was in charge of the music for dancing.

Tues was the Blue Feather Ball (as I recall an actual ball with dancing) Wed was a Renaissance ball, all pre-1600 - don't have a dance list, but included Petit Vriens. We didn't do Rostiboli until afterwards, I believe. Fri was the Playford Ball. The ball list was:

• Set 1 = Carolingian Pavan, Montard, Branle Suite (Cassandra, Pinagay, Charlotte, War), Horses, Pease, Official, Maltese.
• Set 2 = Female Saylor, Black Nag, Hearts Ease, Sellengers, Picking of Sticks, Gathering Peascods, Trenchmore,
• Set 3 = Black Alman, new Alman, Madam Sosiial's, Earl of Salisbury, Saltarello, Gelosia, Hole in the Wall (the musicians held a fund raiser for the chirurgeons, charging 1$ for each repetition, but also had a bucket to pay 1$ for one less. They raised over 100$, and believe actually had more in the against, but decided that they would have a riot if they didn't play some.)
• Set 4 = Upon a Summer's Day, Rufty Tufty, John Tallow's Canon, Jenny Pluck Pears, Dargason, requests (we did Old Mole, at least.)

Classes were held Mon Aug 16 to Fri Aug 20. Most of the dance classes did not make it into the booklet.
