"grand chain"の定義と意味

What is the "grand chain"?

A grand chain is a dance pattern used in ballet and folk dances where dancers execute a series of connected turns or steps, forming a circular or straight line. In this figure, dancers move in a coordinated sequence, often holding hands or linking arms, to create a smooth and continuous flow of movement. Each dancer follows the lead of the one before them, creating a unified and dynamic effect as they rotate around a central point or follow a set path. The grand chain enhances the visual appeal and rhythm of the dance by integrating multiple dancers into a harmonious performance.
