As with most 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 couples. The steps are all done while moving to the left; the left foot is placed to the side in order to lift or kick with the right foot, and the right foot follows after.

	This is a fairly easy dance. It requires a little balance and barely any brain power.

			N. B. This is one dance where the pied en l'air is used in a way that does not necessarily imply a forward kick, so it might have used a pied en l'air that does not go forward and is thus not really a kick.
