In the tradition of John Playford, who wrote The English Dancing Master in 1651, we bring to life the country folk dances that were the main source of entertainment and socialization in Elizabethan England.  Everyone, from the peasants to Queen Elizabeth, knew the steps to these dances.  In the words of the Dancing Master himself, we "much commend it to be Excellent for Recreation, after more serious Studies, making the body active and strong, graceful in deportment, and a quality very much beseeming a Gentleman [or Lady]."
