SCA Dance Cheat Sheets

This is a collection of cheat-sheets for Renaissance dancing, as done in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA).

If you know some dances that I don't have, or you have more source information, or if I have any errors, or if I am missing important variations in how things are danced, please let me know.

I plan on updating and expanding these cheat sheets over time. If you're looking at the electronic version, then you're seeing the latest version. If you're looking at a paper version, then I've probably made some changes. You can contact me about obtaining a new copy at:

Greg Lindahl

At this instant, I'm charging $7 for a copy mailed within the USA, or $5 for a copy delivered in person (say, at Pennsic). This price will rise as the cheat sheets get bigger. You may also photocopy as many additional copies as you like, and give them away to your friends.

What's New?

This is the 2nd edition of this document. The first was completed just after Pennsic XXV, in 1995. I rewrote most of the beginning materials, and added the following dances: Amoroso, Anello, Gelosia, Petit Reinse, Rostiboli Gioioso, Ballo del Fiori, Bransle Aridan, Washerwomen's Bransle, Return of Spring.
