The [[branle]] '''Charlotte''' is found in [[Orchesography]] by [[Thoinot Arbeau]]. It is one of the [[mixed branles]].

==Steps Used==

* [[Double left (branle)|Double left]] ('''DL''')
* [[Double right (branle)|Double right]] ('''DR''')
* [[Single left (branle)|Single left]] ('''SL'')
* [[Single right (branle)|Single right]] ('''SR'')
* [[Pied en l'air gauche]] or kick left ('''KL''')
* [[Pied en l'air droit]] or kick right ('''KR''')

==Choreography==

As with all branles, this dance is performed in a line of people holding hands or, if enough people are present, a circle. It is not necessary for the dancers to be paired into partners.

The verse and chorus alternate until such time as the musicians decide to stop.

Note that during the chorus the single right and single left, which would usually be follwed by a kick right and kick left respectively, in fact follow with the opposite. This requires a subtle difference in the transfer of weight between feet (the foot completing the single merely taps the ground rather than taking the body's weight).

===Verse===

DR 
''Repeat''

===Chorus===

DL KL KR 
SR KL KR KL 
SL KR KL KR 
DR 
''Repeat''

==Music==

The music to this dance is a little unusual during the chorus, in that some of the kicks in the dance do not coincide with accents in the music.
