An dro

An dro or en dro (Breton: "the turn") is a Breton folk dance in ⁴
₄. It is a form of a circle dance.^[1]

Dancers dance in a line or circle, swinging their arms with little fingers linked.

Technique

The dance is performed in a line, with the dancers joined by hooking their little fingers. They swing their arms, and take a short step to the right, a longer step to the left, so they drift steadily leftwards.^[2]

Recordings

An dro songs are part of the repertoire of almost any Breton singer or group, from traditional music such as that of Alan Stivell^[3] and Tri Yann's Portraits,^[4] to rock music such as the 1998 album La Ouache by Matmatah.

Non-Breton singers have included an dro songs on albums including Imeall by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan's vocalist).^[5]
