Renaissance Dance Cheat Sheets

And then you know, the youth must needs go dance,
First galliards -- then larousse, and heidegy --
Old Lusty Gallant -- All the flowers of the Broom.
And then a hall, for dancers must have room...
And to it then: with set, and turn about,
Change sides, and cross, and mince it like a hawk;
Backwards and forwards, take hands then, in and out;
And, now and then, a little wholesome talk,
That none could here, close rowned in the ear.'

Nicholas Breton: Works of a Young Wit, II, ii. 15-23. (1577)
