Don't know how this happened, but many years ago (in the early 60's) learned few steps & danced galliards, courantes, slower dances--woman whose name I've forgotten--from the various treatises mentioned above. So we had dancers in our early programs, they just tried to look authentic, dances were danced but were not very authentic. There are people around now very authoritative. (I was an ardent folkdancer at Reed College in 60's & 70's, did lots of eastern European dances--line dances, etc.) Timothy Swain (erstwhile lutenist of old)
