I'm not sure whether it's also a matter of difference in the skill of the two dance pairs, but one gets the impression that the man's 16th century costume with the "hose" holds up better under the jumping than the modern pants.
In reply to the 2011 comment "what is the name of the song used?" -- It seems to be the tune named "Air de la gaillarde appellee Anthoinette", from the famous 16th century book "Orchesiographie" by Arbeau, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoinot_Arbeau and see the sheet music in anamnese.online.fr/abc/arbeau.pdf
Внешне танцоры выглядят очень спокойными и малоподвижными, но...Это, наверное, очень непросто: передвигаться такими мелкими, скользящими шажками, с подскоками, при этом не только сохранять равновесие, но и прямую гордую осанку!
Thx for posting this. And interesting that for all the 'footsie action', how restrained the rest of the body is, with little movement in the torso, arms, head, waist, and definitely nuthin' going on with the "hips" (especially compared to today's standards)!
So that’s where the Ali shuffle came from. He culturally appropriated it for his own personal use without considering the historical meaning and complexity behind the basic movement
At that time we were bascially ad-hoc gathered enthusiasts, without a formal group. Nowadays the lead dancer Alena is running the group Les Danses Antiques
Martin Alianelli you could, of course, ask nicely. Do you really expect someone to do you a favour after you called him/her bullshit? Where are your manners?
