Meet Danzatori at @EarlyDanceCirc festival. Danzatori are a group of friends, all members of Hertfordshire Early Dance and the Historical Dance Society who meet regularly to dance together for fun.
They explored 2 different versions of 2 dances which appear in Carosos's Il Ballarino of 1581 & Nobilata di Dame of 1600 & challenged themselves to learn both versions. Il Canario is a huge favourite of theirs & provided a wonderful conclusion to their delightful performance.
