Medieval and Tudor Dance

This Guide for Schools is intended for teachers who are keen to explore the medieval and Tudor periods with their classes. It is especially intended to accompany Tudor studies at Key Stage 2, and medieval studies at Key Stage 3, but some of the simpler branles (Torch, Horse, Clog) can be great fun at Key Stage 1. Detailed descriptions and music are given of eight dances and the music for each, performed on period instruments, is given on an accompanying CD. There are also two extra pieces of music on the CD provided with worksheets to enable children to devise their own ‘Tudor’ dance.

Players: Elliott Rush, Clare Little, Paul Leigh.
