Dance musings...
So, dance practice tonight had Argeers and Lo Spagnoletto (yes, google will correct your spelling to the latter if you are slightly off).
Argeers was interesting (a new one for me) - things worked well once we got the first verse, but it took a while til then timing wise. If I say washing machine agitation and shopping trolleys you may get some mental images of some of what was involved - there was a great deal of laughing. Didn't see any logical patterns in it, so really didn't sink in well. But will be fun to do it again.
Lo Spagnoletto I thought I knew from SG, but obviously some of the details has fallen out the cracks in the past 4 years. It didn't help that the local version here is slightly different - trying to track down which version they are working off - I vaguely remember the printout(s) C had (2 versions), but googling hasn't helped for the locally used one. The difference in emphasizing fioretti over spezzati, vs spezzati over fioretti I can sort of see why (footnotes and no definition etc for "fioretti spezzati"), but more confused over the difference in Figure 5 (down the page here is the version I am familiar with). It does appear mainly to be directional with less odds of collision. A transcript of the original Negri instructions is here, but since my (16th C) Italian is nonexistant...
Just curious to know where the differences originate from.
In any case, a good dance to be re-acquainted with.
Unfortunately only about 3, maybe 4 practices here to go (and a Revel and a Ball) and I don't know the state of dance practices in Darton...
Hmmm, getting a bit late... Liked the Torchwood episode this week though.
