Contredanse is a type of 18th-century dance, characterized by a complex rhythm and a counterpoint between two groups of dancers. The term "contredanse" comes from the French words "contre," meaning "against," and "danse," meaning "dance." In a contredanse, the dancers are divided into two lines or groups, and the leader of each group performs a series of steps, responding to the steps of the leader of the other group.
