What is a lively folk dance associated with Ireland, usually in compound time such as 6/8. [1]
Answer Details
The dance described is a jig (also spelled gigue in its Baroque form). [1] The jig is a lively folk dance closely associated with Ireland (and also Scotland and England). It is characteristically performed in compound time, most commonly 6/8, giving it a bouncy, lilting rhythmic feel with groups of three quavers per beat. The energetic tempo and compound metre make it instantly recognisable and it remains a staple of traditional Irish music and dance.
