This dance is a Celtic Style dance in circle. The Rond' Bourree is typical to Brittany, which is one of the  Gaelic regions of France, which was named Gaule in the ancient times. This choreography is my Codification of a Folkloric Gaelic Dance in circle, for line dances. It is a 1-wall, 16-count, no-tag, no-restart  dance for Absolute Beginners.

Here's the Choreography:
