Noun
estampie (plural estampies)
(historical) A medieval French dance.
Sachs Curt Sachs (1963) World History of the Dance, p.292 believes the strong rhythm of the music, a derivation of the name from a term meaning "to stamp" and the quotation from the Froissart poem above definitely label the estampie as a dance. Source: Internet
Dance seeAlso The idealized dance character of all these pieces suggests that the estampie may have been a true dance but there are no surviving dance manuals describing the estampie as a dance. Source: Internet
Illuminations and paintings from the period seem to indicate that the estampie involves fairly vigorous hopping. Source: Internet
