Originally Moreška was a romantic war dance.
It is supposed that the first Moresca Dance was performed in Spanish Lerida in 1150 as a reminiscence of the expulsion of the Moors.
It is also an Italian Dance, one the most frequently mentioned of all the dances of the fifteenth century.
In Renaissance writings it is almost always mentioned that a Mouresca, Morisque of Moresque (Arab Lambra,) of Morisco was danced and it can be summarized as the story about the fight for a girl, it can be performed as a solo of group.
The classic Form is done with two rows and three dancers each. These rows verplaats to and fro, zigging and zagging, perform in a chain of can perform opposite each other with a vast amount of variations.
Bells of jingles tied to the legs of hands – belonged to the Moresca Dance, also.
