At least one of those sounds like a name for one of the dances - as I remember thinking "it is" - dull/boring that I had to be there.

So are these dances?
Yes! You have it, dreams. Over to you for the next question.

Specifically, they're all dances from the 1651 edition of "The English Dancing Master" by John Playford.

Better-known dances from the book are ones like

Hearts ease
Kemps Jig
None such
Picking of sticks
Step Stately
Whirligig
