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.
