<hr />
<div>We usually use the words '''Renaissance Dance''' to describe dance done in the SCA,<br />
rather than [[Medieval Dance]]. This is because we don't know very much about<br />
[[Medieval Dance]] at all. Although dance as an art form was well known in the [[middle ages]], the first recorded dance instructions and [[choreography]] date from the middle of the [[15th century]].<br />
<br />
There are many pictures depicting dancing in earlier times, but without any [[choreography]] or more than a vague idea of how these dances went, it is impossible to recreate them.<br />
<br />
The earliest Renaissance Dances were those done in [[Burgundy]] and [[Italy]] in<br />
the mid [[15th century]] to the early [[16th century]]. These included [[basse danses]] (bassa danze) and [[balli]].<br />
<br />
Early Italian dancemasters include [[Domenico da Piacenza]] and his students [[Antonio Cornazano]] and [[Guglielmo Ebreo]] (Guglielmo the [[Jew]]).<br />
<br />
Later renaissance dance became both more complex eg: [[16th Century Italian Dance]] and more simple, eg: [[16th Century French Dance]].<br />
<br />
Dance masters of the late [[16th century]] include the Italians [[Fabritio Caroso]] and [[Cesare Negri]] as well as the frenchmen [[Thoinot Arbeau]] and [[Antoine Arena]].<br />
