Farandole
In the County of Nice, the popular farandole is danced on a very free step. The dancers hold one another by their hands, and mark every musical beat by skippings: strong beats on a foot, alternately left then right, the other one being raised; weak beat on joined feet. It is led by the abbat-mage, which holds in his free hand the ribboned halberd. In the village of Belvédère, on the occasion of the Saint-Blaise patronal festival, it is the most recently married couple that leads farandole in the streets.
