quadrille
Dance for four couples in square formation, fashionable in the late 18th and 19th cent. Imported to England from Parisian ballrooms in 1815, it consisted of four or five contredanses, each danced with prescribed combinations of intertwining figures rather than depending on intricate individual steps. It was often danced to opera melodies. The term is also used for a form of Amer. square dance.
