A variant or more elaborate form of the galop dance; a musical composition for this dance.
From French 'galopade,' a combination of 'galop' plus the suffix '-ade' (indicating action or a series); a 19th-century ballroom dance.
The '-ade' suffix (like in 'escapade' and 'promenade') gives French dance names their elegant feeling, and 'galopade' sounds fancier than 'galop' even though they're essentially the same energetic jump-around movement.
