Synopsis of Dance Scene:

A boisterous 18th Century couples dance, which integrates masks with pages of dialogue to enhance confusion and chaos in a mardi gras fashion.

Choreographic Objective:

“I’m thinking a musical chairs type hoedown with the sound stopping abruptly, characters frozen, couples exchange dialogue, the music resumes, stops, ect… then they all run off to the beach and engage in drunken debauchery.” – Frank Rutledge

[For the Don Pedro, the Protagonist, to propose to Hero, under the cover of a mask on behalf of Claudio].
