allemande
Where it comes from
Borrowed from French allemande (“German (dance)”).
noun allemandes
- A popular instrumental dance form in Baroque music, and a standard element of a suite, generally the first or second movement. […] sweet to us it is to behold delightful dancing, be it the stately splendour of the Pavane which progresseth as large clouds at sun-down that pass by in splendour; or the graceful Allemande; or the Fandango, which goeth by degrees from languorous beauty to the swiftness and passion of Bacchanals
verb allemandes · allemanding · allemanded
- To perform this dance. The gaudy splashes of lightning made it seem that some weird dance was going on, one where you threw your partner into the nearest tree instead of allemanding her, or dug your knee into his crotch instead of doing a do-si-do.
