Movies forget married women kept hair under linen caps and never went outside without a hat or bonnet. Sometimes the extras on set look better than the lead cast. Ditto for a man with his linen showing and doublet unbuttoned. Never in public.
Love this film. Elizabethan court was full of Manners, observing them, men bowing elaborately, showing the calf of a muscular leg etc! It was all about a man courting a lady, poetry, music dancing. Elizabeth was very cultured before becoming Queen.
La volta, también conocida como volta, lavolta, la volta, levalto o levolto, es una danza en pareja que surgió en el Renacimiento, de tiempo ternario y carácter vivaz. Tuvo su mayor esplendor en la Europa de los siglos XVI y XVII. Es probable que pueda ser el origen del vals e incluso también de la polka.
Cette Dance n'est certainement pas la Volta mais autre chose. La Volta (12ième siècle) se dançait en Provence puis à la cour des Valois enfin en Allemagne méridionale vers le 16 et 17ième siècle. Ce qui ne retire rien à cette magnifique scène de cinéma mais la Volta n'est pas une dance qu'on dansait à la cour anglaise des Tudor. Mieux encore la musique de cette scène n'est pas à 3 temps ni un 6/8
J'ai lu que la reine Elizabeth 1 aimait la Volta. Il est possible que ma source (inconnue) ait basé cette affirmation sur ce film. Etes-vous bien sûr que la Volta n'ait pas pénétré dans les cours et les palais anglais?
"La Volta was Queen Elizabeth's favorite dance in the 1500s, as referenced by Jasper Ridley's book Elizabeth I, The Shrewdness of Virtue (published 1989)."
exact movements, exaggerated gyrations for kids of the 90s..i am one and i know. these are arrogant and bouncy...gives a self centered aura. the other ones i see in movies are robotic because they are taken from books that have illustrations. i would think...looking at georgian early aryan dances and going as far as syria for levantine renditions....it would flow from step to step and a sense of modesty because a woman is close to a man in a public display of couple expression? it says they must have been pompous.
