Bransles

Thoinot Arbeau, Orchesography Dover Publications, Inc. New York 1967.

"Since you already know how to dance the pavan and the basse dance it will be easy for you to dance bransles in the same duple time, and you should understand that the bransle is danced by moving sideways and not forward." Page 128


"When you commence a bransle several others will join you, as many young men as do damsels, and sometimes the damsel who is the last to arrive will take your left hand and it will thus become a round dance." Page 130 on the "Double Bransle"
