Dance Lessons, Mirrors and Minuets: Martin Engelbrecht's Engraving Das Tantzen / La Danse
Martin Engelbrecht’s hand-coloured engraving Das Tantzen / La Danse c. 1730 depicts a dance lesson where the dancing master is teaching five students. The engraving is detailed and accurate in what it portrays: the clothes of the six gentlemen, the room itself with an expensive and luxurious mirror and large glass windows, the dance being taught and the posture of the dancing master and his students. The wealth of detail reveals a great deal abou…

Introduction to Part I: Shakespeare and Dance
Dancing was ubiquitous in early modern England and Europe, and the literature of this period inevitably reflects this practice. This introduction to Part I of The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Dance —“Shakespeare and Dance”—traces the development of dance traditions during the period of Shakespeare’s life. Despite the scarcity of choreographic source material from dancers and teachers working in England, information relating to dance can be …

Learning the Bassadanza from a Wolf: Andrea Calmo and Dance
For Roberto Pettini Important information about dancing and social values is sometimes found in unexpected places, such as the letters of Andrea Calmo, a sixteenth-century Venetian actor and playwright. These letters not only provide corroboration of information and attitudes to dance contained in the sixteenth-century Italian dance treatises, but also highlight how dance was regarded by a member of the middle-classes in Venice. As well as having…

‘Rules for Design’: Beauty and Grace in Caroso's Choreographies
This article examines the changes Fabritio Caroso made to his choreographies from his first treatise Il ballarino (1581) to those from his second, Nobiltà di dame (1600), as well as the terms Caroso used to refer to these changes and the significance that these terms had for him. While modern scholars have discussed these changes as evincing an increased interest in symmetry by Caroso, the dance master did not employ this term in his treatises at…

Dance and the Garden: Moving and Static Choreography in Renaissance Europe
In the Renaissance there were close similarities between the static choreography of the formal gardens of the nobility and the moving choreographies performed by the members of the court. The principles of order and proportion, the expression of splendour, the geometrical forms, were all fundamental principles of both Renaissance court dance and the formal garden. The patterns in both these art-forms were meant to be viewed from above. This close…
Cavalieri's Theatrical Ballo “O che nuovo miracolo”: A Reconstruction
Most of the information on sixteenth-century Italian court dance available to present-day researchers is found in collections of social dances: dances written for a small number of courtiers to perform (usually two or four performers) for their own enjoyment at informal occasions rather than important state occasions such as the marriage celebrations of the ruler. From other nonchoreographic sources we know that dancing contributed to the magnifi…

The Performance of Fifteenth Century Italian Balli: Evidence from the Pythagorean Ratios
The 15th-c. dance treatises of Domenico da Piacenza, Antonio Cornazano, and Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro contain a theoretical section in which the ratios of the tempi between the four misure of the balli are discussed. This information allows us to work out metronome markings for the four misure. When proportion signs (or mensuration signs used as proportion signs) appear in the ballo melodies, the ratio represented by these signs relates to the pr…
'Certain Sweet Movements' the Development of the Concept of Grace in 15th-Century Italian Dance and Painting
The history of court dance and the history of the manners of courtly society have often been seen as analogous. One of the reasons for this is that the concept of'grace' is central in both these activities. While scholars such as Mark Franko have established the similarity between the dance and courtly behaviour for the 16th century,' the same has not been done for the 15th century. Franko hypothesised that this similarity existed in both centuri…
