Estampida

The idealised 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. 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.
