Hay Bransle

 



This dance starts with any number of people in a line. Most of the recordings I have seem to be set up for 3 people, which is how I have seen it danced most often.

This is done using courante steps – hopping before each step of the single or double.

 


Figure 2

Play the B music as many times as necessary for the dancers to get through this section.

Using pavan doubles, make a hey until the everyone is back to their original places.

 


Notes

You can take hands or not during the hey, whichever you prefer. Arbeau doesn't say.
