Double Branle

The branle Double is found in Orchesography by Thoinot Arbeau. It is one of the quatre branles.

Steps Used

• Double left (DL)
• Double right (DR)

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.

This is the easiest dance in the world.

Verse

DL DR Repeat, always doing smaller steps to R than to L

Variations

In place of the last two steps of the double right, three quick kicks can be inserted. This is a divided movement.
