The Allemande requires eight beats of music to execute. One Hand Swings require six beats of music. The difference in timing and in the movements is the honor or balance which is a definite part of the Allemande. Another important difference between the Allemande and a One Hand Swing is that the Allemande is always danced by all eight dancers in the set answering the call in unison, and is never danced by less than the entire set. |
