Gelosia

Copyright 2005 by Jeff Suzuki

This is an elegant little Italian dance that's a lot of fun and gives lie to the notion that Italian dances are 1) boring, 2) complicated, and 3) serious. Depending on the music you have, you might have four, six, or eight initial salterelli; the repeats will only have four.

Do a salterelli then another right after it
Do a salterelli then another right after it

First man double, then a double, then a double, rev'rence
Salterelli forward
First man double, then a double, then a double, rev'rence
Salterelli forward
Double into place.

Piva steps are quick and hard to call at speed
Left right left, pause, right left right, pause, whew
First couple cast out
Second couple cast out
Third couple cast

Take a double switching with your partner
Take a double switching with your partner
Slow turn into place then, then..
