(also branle (France), brando (Italy), brangle, brawl, brawle, brall(e), braul(e), brantle...) is a dance style which moves mainly from side to side. It may be danced in a line or circle. Before 1500, the name is used for one of the steps of a Basse Dance, while later choreographies refer mostly to regional 'folk' dances (rather than court dances).
