How to Wear Platform Shoes, 1600

Now in order to walk nicely, and to wear chopines properly on one’s feet, so that they do not twist…

Throw the body and stretch the right arm and right leg as far as possible to the right…

Never doze during the ball, please, my good companion…

Furthermore never fart when you are dancing; grit your teeth and compel your arse to hold back the fart..

In case of dance emergency, pull cord. Cesare Negri, Nuove inventioni di balli, 1604
