Re: pre 17th century Jewish dance

[Judith R. Cohen <jcohen...>]

hi, you won't find MUSICAL documentation of early songsin Ladino/Judeo-Spanish. 
Texts are a different matter, but, again, the music is from many different 
sources and was not notated then; it also is often much later than its texts. 
I'll keep my eye out f

for dance info. There's an interesting MA thesis on dance among Rhodesli Jews 
in Los Angeles by Marcia Barryte, but again, it's folk and contemporary forms - 
nothing about anything corresponding to early music/early dance. Contact me 
offlist if you like,
