Leoncello

Reconstruction by Madeliene Inglehern from her book "Fifteenth Century Dances from Burgandy and Italy.
This Ballo is originally from Domenico of Ferrara.
This is a dance for two women and one man, or one man and two women.
Below I will be calling the outside people "Outs" and the middle person "Mid".

Repeat the whole dance. If you have enough room to do this you can use the first 2 saltarello B's to end up all 3 facing in the same direction. If you don't have enough room, use them to get somewhere you do have room.
 

*1 One Left Saltarello B = first step with the Left foot, then Right, then Left. Jump onto the Right foot then step with the left. In Polit. we have varied the direction of the jump - if you have limited space, back is better than forward.

*2 One Left Piva = with heels raised, Step L, Step R, StepL, come down on the flat of the
Left foot.

*3 One Passo = 1 step (not step and close like a single)

*4  A Left double (doppi) in Bassa Danza:
Beat       1                 2                3     4              5     6
Step        L starting to lift the R     R    L                     bringing the R foot level with the L in readiness for the next double, single, whatever.

*5  A Left & Right Passo in Bassa Danza:
Beat       1    2     3    4    5   6
Step       L                R

*6  riprese - in this case, a Left riprese would normally be a step to the side while rising on the right foot followed by bringing the right foot up to the left while descending. Would you believe that right riprese are the same but to the right?  Not to be confused with all the other types of represe. Using a riprese to turn with doesn't make it another type of riprese, right?

*7  continenza - a Left continenza = a step to the L, then bring up the right foot while rising, decend when the feet are together.

*8  movimento - a natural gesture of attraction between men and women. Up to you, but we use a decorous rotation of one shoulder.
