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 (DLx)
- Double right (DRx)
- Single left (SLx)
- Single right (SRx)
- Pied en l'air gauche or kick left (KL)
- Pied en l'air droit or kick right (KR)
- Saute (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.
