allemande

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

allemande

Processional couple dance with stately flowing steps, fashionable in the 16th century, especially in France. A line of couples extended their paired hands forward and paraded back and forth the length of the ballroom. It was revived in the 18th century as a figure dance for four couples, in which each pair performed intricate turns under each other's arms, a figure that partly survives in the “allemand” of the U.S. square dance. In the late 17th century a stylized version of the dance in ⁴⁄₄ time began to be used by composers as the first movement of the suite.
