Notes:	This dance was unnamed in the copy of the original publication that we've used. However, most of the dances from this same collection were published on a Fan in 1817, the name was given there as La Arabelle. We have therefore used that name. See here for further information.

This dance is reconstructed from an authentic source as noted above, but you might encounter it being taught in a different fashion. Popular dances were often published more than once, sometimes with different figures, or even with different tunes; our version is faithfully reconstructed and historically informed, but alternative arrangements can be equally satisfying
