The formal (Court) dances included the volte and the pavanne but there are lots of dances collected by Playford (and published from 1650 onwards) that date back to the Elizabethan era and include HUNSDON HOUSE, a square dance, which includes the earliest example of a grand square. Other early dances include NONSUCH and GATHERING PEASCODS. Around the same time, running set was taken from England to the Appalachian mountains by Puritans. A search for Playford or The English Dancing Master will provide you with all Playford's published dances. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London also has a dance troupe that demonstrates Elizabethan dances.
