Dance and music

A lively leaping dance and its musical form

In dance and music, a jig is a fast, springy dance in compound metre and the tune written for it; stylised at the Baroque court as the gigue, it became the customary lively finale of the instrumental dance suite. Nevile's Baroque Dance places the gigue among the dances that structured suites and social dancing. The referent is a rhythmic dance-and-tune form, characterised by its metre, tempo, and step vocabulary, sharing only its name with the lure and the machinist's fixture.[1]
