“Buskin” a kind of calf-high front-laced boot sometimes amplified at the sole with cork, and so associated with Classical tragedy, where actors might wish to raise themselves to match the elevation of their subject matter. One might well wonder how this grave word attached itself to this light hearted dance, with its patterns of flirtation and retreat. The busking, however, was also associated with the goddess Diana as part of her hunting apparel, and here a contemporary connection to dance may be found.
