Choreography
- The dance begins with the man in front of the woman. They perform two sempi and a doppio, followed by a volta del gioioso. They then perform a mezavolta so that the woman is now in front. They then perform two riprese, left and right and two continentie. The couple then repeat this from the start, and the man should once more be in front of the woman.

Notes
It is difficult to determine whether the couple should begin with the man standing in front of the woman, or the couple standing side by side. The first theory has slightly more evidence and so is used.
This reconstruction assumes a pause between the bassadanza section and the saltarello section.
