La Crouzade
We are going to present you our traditionnal dance, which is La Crouzade. It is a bourée d'Auvergne, which comes from the Massif Central.
Crouzade means « croix », « cross », it reminds some steps contained in the dance.
To dance, we need four or eight performers.
There are two traditional instruments, the vielle ( the hurdy-gurdy) and the cornemuse (the bagpipe)
La Crouzade is a dance of seduction, there is a game of look between men and women.
It is a popular dance that we find in many region, however they have their own style and their own choreography.
Unfortunately it is a dance less and less known and performed, because there are a few people who practise it and who teach it.
Some traditional french dances :
- First, a « danse bretonne »
Then, a « danse auvergnate »
A « danse alsacienne »
Thank you for your attention !
