| Gioioa | |
| a bassadanza for three (to be the best) | |
| Source: AW Smith (Siena), reconstructed by Dafydd Cyhoeddwr | |
| Music: Una Festivita Della Danza (DHDS) (pick up intro) | |
| Starting position: side by side, hand in hand (by instructions, M-W-M) | |
| Section 1: | |
| 1 | Two continentie, left and right |
| 2&3 | Two sempi, left and right, and a doppio, left |
| 4&5 | End 1 turns back/away with two more doppi, right and left, with the other two in the line following him in a column |
| 6&7 | End 1 alone does two riprese, the first, left, to end up beside the other two and facing them, and the second, right, to end up near |
| the end of the line | |
| 8 | All riverentia (End 2 does two continentie instead?) |
| 9 | Ripresa left, Middle (new leader) as normal, End 2 to end up next to Middle, End 1 to end up next to End 2 (reform the line) |
| 10 | Ripresa right |
| Section 2: | |
| 11-20 | Repeat section 1 with the new order (Middle becomes End 1, End 2 becomes middle, End 1 becomes End 2) |
| Section 3: | |
| 21-30 | Repeat section 1 with the new order (original End 2 becomes End 1, original End 1 becomes Middle, original Middle becomes End 2) |
| At the end, everyone should be back in the order they started the dance in. | |
| Section 4: | |
| 31-34 | Two sempi, left and right, and three doppi, starting left |
| 35 | Take hands around and circle left with a doppio, left |
| 36 | Circle right with a doppio, right, then reform the line |
| 37 | Middle does a doppio away and then a mezavolta to face the Ends |
| 38 | The Ends riverentia to the Middle as the Middle does another doppio away, ending up facing the Ends again |
| 39 | The Ends riverentia to the Middle again as the Middle does another doppio, this time toward the Ends |
| 40 | The Middle reaches the ends with a final doppio, ending up between them and taking their hands |
| 41 | All riverentia |
| Dance does not repeat | |
| To squeeze the instructions (which I thought quite clear) into the music (which is two measures short (again)), I'm condensing | |
| the riverentias by the Ends in section 4 into the Middle's doppi (which sort of has a little style to it, really É) | |
| Note: Gioioa means joy as well as jewel | |
