After an initial period, considered to be pure entertainment, grew the interest and passion for Renaissance dances, which were both held internal courses taught by professionals of ancient dances.

" Rose Moresk are a group dedicated to researching and recreating the Moresk to entertain and educate the public. Our first recreation is the courtly Moresk of around 1500.

Our performances are appropriate for both specialist and general audiences. They are entertaining and exciting to watch. The Moresk dances were performed as court entertainment with elements of drama and other dance forms creating a narrative. Rose Moresk strives to recreate this as accurately as possible and in a manner that is entertaining and accessible to modern audiences.

Thus the dances performed by Rose Moresk are drawn from a collection of dances, known as the Gresley Manuscript, originating from a large house in Derbyshire. They are believed to be the aide-memoir of a dancing master around 1500. Although the manuscripts do not specifically state that these are Moresk dances, they contain features that resemble those elements from other sources known to have been part of the Moresk.

"When people discover that I take baroque dance classes, there's usually some curiosity, and also some misunderstanding about what it involves (my mother asked "Is it, y'know funny dancing?"). This page is a distillation of conversations in pubs in which I have tried to describe exactly what this uncommon hobby of mine involves.

Baroque dances are historical dances. That is, they are dances which went out of fashion long ago. Today both amateurs and professionals are performing reconstructions of old dances, mainly the social dances, from at least as far back as the 12th century, right though until the early 20th century. There are also new dances being choreographed in old styles. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"This site originated with the rendance email list. Rendance was founded on April 2nd, 1993, by Andrew Draskóy. The list, as well as this web site, was created to facilitate the study of Renaissance dance. List members collaborated on contributions to an ftp archive, which also contained archives of the list. Resources created this way included a discography and a comprehensive annotated bibliography.

The ftp site was replaced with a web page on July 5th, 1995. http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~andrew/rendance.html received over 123,000 visits. On May 14th, 2001 the single page was reorganized into a site, and moved to www.rendance.org. New introductory material was added, as well as information and links for relevant aspects of Renaissance culture. Other sections were greatly expanded.

What you see now is a transitional design. Coming soon are more specialized bibliographies, as well as articles on dance types and the people who shaped the dance of the Renaissance and our contributed to our knowledge of it.
