Dance cloth out

The bourrée (also borrèia and, in England, borry or bore) is a dance of French origin and the words and music that accompany it. The bourrée somewhat resembles the gavotte, it is in double time and often has a dactylic rhythm but it is somewhat quicker and its phrase starts with a quarter-bar anacrusis or pick-up whereas a gavotte has a half-bar anacrusis.
