I have some information on basse dances.  Is there one in particular that
you are looking for?  The ones that are most commonly done in the SCA right
now include Gelosia (sp?) and Verceppe.  At least I think I'd classify
Verceppe as a basse dance.  Jouissance vous donneray is also reasonably
common, as far as these things go.  Both the music and steps are easy to
find as it is in Arbeau.
Here are some other sources for basse dances:
MS. of Marie de Bourgogne, C. 1450.  Plusieurs basses danses
Robert Coplande, 1521.  The Manner of Dancing Bace Dances
Pierre Attaignment, 1529. Dixhuit Basses Dances

In service,
