Further Information:

Source: 8 French Country Dances
Authority: Kelly, Michael

Tune: No. 8 or Fairy Figure
Notes: The original notation said to Allemande rather than Promenade. The modification makes the figures a close match for the regular La Poule figures, and simplifies the arrangement of the music.

This dance is reconstructed from an authentic source as noted above, but you might encounter it being taught in a different fashion. Popular dances were often published more than once, sometimes with different figures, or even with different tunes; our version is faithfully reconstructed and historically informed, but alternative arrangements can be equally satisfying
