Using Enigmatic scale - La Volta (Ital. for 'the turn') is a couple's dance, popular during the late Renaissance period. It was reputedly the favorite dance of Queen Elizabeth I, performed with much leaping, lifting and turning. The dance is a variation of the galliard but was considered scandalous and indecent. However with Queen Elizabeth's blessing it became a respectable but undignified court dance.
