Kurzbiographie
Fabritio Caroso da Sermoneta was an Italian Renaissance dancing master and a composer or transcriber of dance music. Not much is known about Caroso's early years, but it seems likely he was born in Sermoneta, Italy, a village southeast of Rome. His family was of working-class means, but apparently provided young Fabritio with a good education. By his late twenties, Caroso had become a master of dance and was in the service of the Duchess of Sermoneta, Felice Maria Orsina Caetana. Because of the familial connections of the Duchess, Caroso worked in Rome and gained additional patrons from her relatives in the Orsini family.

This is an English translation of a treatise by the Italian dancing master Caroso, published in 1600. As Caroso was by that time an old experienced dance teacher, it covers late 16th century daces roughly contemporary with Arbeau's French dances. Like Arbeau, it teaches dancing (and courtly behavior on the dance floor) by a dialogue between the dancing master and his pupil. It also includes music for the dances.By the time this came out, I was no longer actively dancing, so I do not have the experience using the book that I had with Arbeau. My impression from watching others dance is that the Italian dances may be more complex and sophisticated than the French ones.… (mehr)

Dance instructions too advanced for beginning period dancers. Etiquette lessons super for period performers and reenators.

(note that some of the text is available at the Library of Congress online, and also some videos of people doing the dances)
