Reconstruction by Peter Durham, informed by that of Vivian Stephens and Monica Cellio. Translation by Peter Durham. Text from Smith transcription of Pg.

Notes

Reconstruction. In the source transcribed (Pg), there is no indication of the turn of the man to face his partner at I A1 30 or that he returns to her before they both do ripresas at I A2 1. Two of the seven sources for this dance (NY and S) call out the initial turn, but five (FN, NY, S, V, FL) call for the return. I have chosen to reconstruct the dance with the return, rather than have the man advance and have the woman catch up during I A2, to follow the majority of sources and to avoid having the dancers do ripresas with the man facing away from his partner.
