The Canary dance (known as Canario in Italian sources, Canarie in French ones) was a Renaissance dance popular all over Europe in the late 16th and early 17th century. It is mentioned in dance manuals from France and Italy, and is mentioned in sources from Spain and England, as well,〔 Julia Sutton, "Canary," in ''International Encyclopedia of Dance'', edited by Selma Jeanne Cohen (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), vol. 2, p. 50. 〕 including in plays by William Shakespeare.〔 Alan Brissenden, ''Shakespeare and the Dance'' (Atlantic Highlands, NJ: Humanities Press, 1981), pp. 38-39, 53. 〕 The dance, which is most often choreographed for a singe couple, has been characterized as "a fiery wooing dance" with either Spanish origins or at least a Spanish flavor from its "rapid heel-and-toe stamps" and distinctive music.〔Sutton, "Canary," vol. 2, p. 50.〕 It was also called frogs legs, because it was an energetic dance that featured jumps, stamping of the feet and violent movement, accompanied by music with syncopated rhythms. While there are choreographies for the canario as a stand-alone dance in the dancing manuals of Fabritio Caroso, Cesare Negri, and Thoinot Arbeau,〔 Thoinot Arbeau, ''Orchesography'', transl. Mary S. Evans, ed. Julia Sutton (New York: Dover, 1967), pp. 179-181. 〕 it most frequently appears as a section of a larger dance or suite of dances.〔 Sutton, "Canary," vol. 2, pp. 50-52. 〕 ==Canario Choreographies and Reconstructions== * (Il Canario: The Canary of Cesare Negri with its Variations ) -- reconstructed by Delbert von Straßburg * (Caroso's Il Canario (''Il Ballarino'') ) * (Canario Musical Arrangements ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canary dance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
