I am a cruel dance master

I have just assigned homework to my dance students. I have instructed them each to reconstruct a period dance from original source material, and pointed them to online editions of The English Dancing Master so they don't have to go to a library or buy a book to do it.

They have two weeks: we shall see if any of them are diligent enough to actually do it.
