<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Fabritio Caroso]] wrote dances primarily for the nobility, and many of his dances are dedicated to prominent Ladies of the time: he wrote ''Contrapasso'' itself �in praise of the very magnificent Madonna Felicita Ziletti�. Dances of this type were typically performed in courts by a single couple or set, while other guests watched. ''Contrapasso'' seems to be an exception to the rule, in that Caroso seems to describe a dance for an unspecified number of dancers, calling it a �Balleto for uncertain, of doing it in two�. In contrast, he describes the related dance Contrapasso Nuovo, a dance that clearly requires six dancers, as a �Balleto of six�. From this description, I conclude that Contrapasso is a dance that, in period, would have multiple couples on the dance floor at the same time.<br />
<br />
''Contrapasso'' is easy to interpret as a romantic dance, especially with an arrangement of the music such as the one by [http://www.dragonscaleconsort.com/ The Dragonscale Consort]. The title means �Counterstep�, presumably describing the way the dancers frequently move together around a central point or repeat each other�s movements.<br />
<br />
[[Il Ballarino]] includes music for ''Contrapasso'' in lute notation. The music actually appears earlier in the book under the instructions for [[Contrapasso Nuovo]], which Caroso references at the end of the instructions for ''Contrapasso''.<br />
<br />
Contrapasso has been researched before in the SCA. I first learned a version reconstructed by Mistress Mara Kolarova, and the [http://downloads.cynnabar.org/ Terpsichore Dance Manual] also includes a version of the dance. These versions call the dance ''Contrapasso in Due'', presumably to distinguish it more easily from [[Contrapasso Nuovo]]. Both of these arrangements describe it as having 4-count measures, but the music is actually composed mostly of twelfth notes or some such, making it easier to describe in units of six notes, and I have documented the steps accordingly.<br />
