| a bassadanza for two | |
| Source: AW Smith (4 mss), reconstructed by Dafydd Cyhoeddwr | |
| Music: Il Bel Danzare (DHDS) (lead in intro) | |
| Starting position: side by side, hand in hand | |
| Section 1: | |
| 1 | Two continentie, left and right |
| 2 | Two sempi, left and right |
| 3 | Riverentia; mezavolta |
| 4 | Ripresa, left |
| 5 | Two sempi, right and left |
| 6 | Riverentia; mezavolta |
| 7 | Ripresa, right |
| Section 2: | |
| 8 | Turn to face each other and riverentia, touching (right) hands |
| 9-11 | Go forward past each other with three riprese portogallesi (diagonally), right, left, right; mezavolta to face |
| 12&13 | Approach each other with two sempi, left and right, and a doppio, left |
| 14 | Riverentia |
| 15&16 | Take left hands and circle with two sempi, right and left, and a doppio, right |
| 17 | Ripresa left in such "a way that the man ends up below (to the right of) the woman" |
| 18&19 | Volta del Gioioso (two sempi, right and left, ripresa right) |
| Section 3: | |
| 20 | Riverentia |
| 21-23 | Three saltarelli, left, right, left |
| 24 | Two sempi, right and left; mezavolta |
| 25 | Ripresa, left |
| 26 | Two sempi, right and left; mezavolta |
| 27 | Ripresa, right |
| 28 | Turn to form a column and do a large doppio, left (anyone know what "pediando" means?); mezavolta |
| 29&30 | Two riprese, left and right |
| 31 | Riverentia |
| Dance repeats, with instructions for the woman to lead the second time | |
| Yet again, the music is two measures short and it seems to be in section 3 (the phrasing seems to work perfectly for all of the | |
| other sections). The easiest thing to ignore is the two riprese at the end, so to use this music, do that. | |
