With the third volume of How to Dance Through Time, learn many aspects of Italian Renaissance dance by practicing one famous dance suite, Nido d'Amore (Nest of Love). The suite's four parts comprise a romantic, episodic story of a couple's courtship and reveal universal love themes. In The Majesty of Renaissance dance, Carol Téten leads dancers through the four parts of the Nido d'Amore. The suite, typically performed and viewed by Italian Aristocracy, begins with a refined introduction (The Opening), explodes with energetic jumps into a male display of bravado (The Galliard), builds to mutual ecstasy (The Saltarello), and culminates in a statement of strong individualism (The Canary).Concise instructions and historical background help today's dancers create romantic expressions in yesterday's dance language.Professional dancers demonstrate in period undergarments, which show the feet and allow viewers to learn the steps more easily. A final performance is in full period costume. Most people who buy this DVD also buy the Companion CD. With 40 years of experience teaching and performing dance, Carol Téten provides clear instructions and entertaining context. Volume III is recommended for people with basic dance experience.
