Galop (Hungary)
Hungary seems to take credit as the birthplace of the galop. it was an old time dance, often introduced at the country dances or following a volte and contre danse as a contrast to their slow and somewhat monotonous steps. in 2/4 time, it was a springy step with a glissade and a chasse.
