The gigue is a lively dance form that originated in the 16th century, often associated with the Baroque period. It is typically characterized by a fast tempo and features a compound meter, usually in a 6/8 or 12/8 time signature, giving it a triplet feel rather than a strict double or triple meter. While it may include elements of both double and triple meters, its rhythmic structure primarily emphasizes a triplet division, making it a distinct and energetic dance.
