Quadrille - Quadrille (English spelling) French

This dance spread from the court of Napoleon I in the early 19th century. When the contredanse, in which four pairs of men and women dance in a square, fell out of favor, only a few types of dances were always danced in the same order, and these were collectively called quadrille de contredanses, or quadrille for short. It generally consists of five types: le pantalon, l'été, la poule, la pastourelle, and la finale (le trénis is sometimes inserted as the fourth), and the music used was from popular songs and opera melodies of the time. It is in 2/4 or 6/8 time (the third piece, sometimes the first piece), and has a lively theme repeated in eight-bar units. It was introduced to Japan during the Meiji period and was danced at the Rokumeikan.

Japanese:

19世紀初頭、ナポレオン1世の宮廷から広まった舞踊。4組の男女が方形で踊るコントルダンスが下火になったとき、いつも数種だけが同じ順序で踊られるようになり、これらをまとめてquadrille de contredanses、略してカドリーユとよんだのに始まる。一般にはle pantalon, l'été, la poule, la pastourelle, la finaleの5種の型からなり(第4番目にle trénisが挿入されることもある)、音楽には当時の流行歌やオペラの旋律が用いられた。2/4拍子または6/8拍子(第3曲、ときに第1曲)で、生き生きとした8小節単位の主題が反復される。日本にも明治時代に導入され鹿鳴館(ろくめいかん)で踊られた。
