1. La Crouzade

2. We are going to present you our traditionnal dance, which is La Crouzade. It is a bourée d'Auvergne, which comes from the Massif Central. Crouzade means « croix », « cross », it reminds some steps contained in the dance. To dance, we need four or eight performers. There are two traditional instruments, the vielle ( the hurdy-gurdy) and the cornemuse (the bagpipe)

3. La Crouzade is a dance of seduction, there is a game of look between men and women. It is a popular dance that we find in many region, however they have their own style and their own choreography. Unfortunately it is a dance less and less known and performed, because there are a few people who practise it and who teach it.
