Uncovering the Forgotten History of Bransle Dance

Bransle is a Middle English word that was used to describe a type of dance or movement. It is derived from the Old French word "bransler," which means "to brandish" or "to wave about."

In the 14th and 15th centuries, bransle was a popular dance in England and France, particularly among the nobility. It was characterized by quick steps and graceful movements, and was often performed at courtly gatherings and festivals.

The term "bransle" is still used today to describe certain types of traditional dances, such as the "bransle galliard" or the "bransle basse-danse." However, its original meaning and significance have largely been lost over time, and it is now mainly of historical interest.
