Québécois square - "La Passe des dames, la Passe des hommes"
This is part of an evening dance sponsored by Les Danseurs et Musiciens de l'Ile Jésus, the old name for Laval, across the river from Montréal. The group was founded in 1978 and holds regular programs of Danses traditionnelles québécoises. The full video shows a series of dances through the evening.
This clip illustrates a variation of "La Passe des dames, la Passe des hommes," collected in Saint-Pierre-de-Broughton by Normand Lehaut in the mid-1970s. Calling is by Gérard Morin. Dance historian Pierre Chartrans notes that this version differs slightly from the original:
* The second round 4X 4 is usually CCW (like the first)
* The Couples 1-3 figure is usually the standard Right and Left through.
