The [[Branle]] '''Scottish''' (''Branle d'Ecosse'') is found in [[Orchesography]] by [[Thoinot Arbeau]]. There are a couple of pieces by [[Estienne du Tertre]] with the same title, but they do not seem to fit this choreography. |

==Steps Used== |
|||
* [[Double left crossing]] ('''DLx''') |
|||
* [[Double right crossing]] ('''DRx''') |
|||
* [[Single left crossing]] ('''SLx''') |
|||
* [[Single right crossing]] ('''SRx''') |
|||
* [[Pied en l'air gauche]] or kick left ('''KL''') |
|||
* [[Pied en l'air droit]] or kick right ('''KR''') |
|||
* [[Saut]] ('''Sa''') |
|||
* [[Capriole]] ('''Cap''') |
|||
==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. |
