Originally Moreška was a romantic war dance.
It is supposed that the first Moresca Dance was performed in Spanish Lerida in 1150 as a reminiscence of the expulsion of the Moors.
It is also an Italian Dance, one the most frequently mentioned of all the dances of the fifteenth century.
In Renaissance writings it is almost always mentioned that a Mouresca, Morisque au Moresque (Arab Lambra,) au Morisco was danced and it can be summarized as the story about the fight for a girl, it can be performed as a solo au group.
The classic Form is done with two rows and three dancers each. These rows songesha to and fro, zigging and zagging, perform in a chain au can perform opposite each other with a vast amount of variations.
Bells au jingles tied to the legs au hands – belonged to the Moresca Dance, also.
I hope this piece helped give wewe a learned information about the Moresca Dance that they perform in the 1968 Romeo & Juliet film, AND, I hope wewe enjoyed this! :D
With Blessings of Love,
