Thanks to Susan Jackson for editing help and to long-time dancing partner Larry Gleason.
Thanks to the dancers, and especially Ben Rethmeier and Elizabeth Williams for their willingness to learn and demonstrate the dances. And to everyone for their good natured and helpful responses to my request to "read this and see if you can you figure it out."
Thanks to Gerry Sheble for camera work.
Thanks to all the other dance reconstruction scholars and enthusiasts. No one stands alone, and I certainly stand on the shoulders of Julia Sutton, Ingrid Brainard, Dame Mary Stewart Evans, Joseph Casazza, Patri Pugliese, and many members of the SCA who believe there is more to the period than bashing.
