A stately dance from the 16th century that originated in Germany, often performed at formal court celebrations.
From French allemande, literally meaning 'German dance,' derived from Allemagne (Germany). The dance became popular in France and spread throughout Europe as a fashionable court dance during the Renaissance.
The allemande is a time machine in dance form—if you learn to do it, you're moving exactly the way European nobility did 500 years ago, and the footwork patterns still survive in modern ballroom dancing!
