In 15th Century Italian Dance saltarello can refer to a dance, a misura or a dance step, all of which are related. The name, which derives from the Italian word for leap has existed since at least the 14th century.

The saltarello misura is described as being a perfect major, which roughly translates as being in 3/4 time.
