Answer 5

The jig (Irish: port) is a folk dance type as well as the accompanying dance tune type, popular in Ireland. The jig derives its name from the French word gigue, meaning small fiddle, or giga, the Italian name of a short piece of music much in style in the Middle Ages. It was widely played as a dance tune at Irish fairs, and from the music the dance took its name.[1]

The "Irish jig" is a popular tune-type within the traditions of Irish dance music, second only to the reel, and popular but somewhat less common in Scottish country dance music. It is transcribed in compound meter, being 6/8 time (six beats to the measure, the eighth note getting the beat). The most common structure of a jig is two eight-bar parts, performing two different steps, each once on the right foot, and one on the left foot. As with most other types of dance tunes in Irish music, at a session or a dance it is common for two or more jigs to be strung together in a set, flowing on without interruption.
