The “gigouillette”
The gigouillette is a popular tra-
ditional dance from Normandy in
which couples hold hands in a kind
of circle and do eight polka steps
and jumps. The dance is very rhyth-
mic and lively.
The “farandole” from Provence
Back to the south with the faran-
dole from Provence! The farandole
is a traditional festive circle dance.
In the beginning, it was usually
danced around a fire, for example,
for the feast of Saint John.
We hope that you liked this over-
view, which is far from being ex-
haustive, and that it inspired you to
try a few dance steps.
