In [[15th Century Italian Dance]] the '''ballo''' (pl. ''balli'') is a dance style that existed alongside the [[bassadanza]]. It is distinguished by its nore lively nature and mix of [[misura|misure]]. For instance [[Rostiboli Gioioso]] moves from bassadanza misura, to [[saltarello]] and then to [[piva]].

In the middle of the [[15th century]] bassadanza was the more common style, but by the last decades the balli seem to have taken over, and their descendants were well and truly dominant in [[16th Century Italian Dance]].
