contredanse
Contredanse is a type of folk dance that originated in the British Isles during the 17th century. It was then popular in European ballrooms and assemblies throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries. The name derives from the French "contre-danse", which means "opposite dance," referring to the way partners in the dance face each other. Typical features include a series of figures performed by couples in a square or line formation where they exchanged positions with each other.
