Medieval Dances - The Egg Dance

The Egg dance was one of the earliest Saxon Medieval dances and, like the Carole, was performed during a period of festivity namely the Easter-tide festivities. The egg dance was derived from a traditional Easter game.

In the egg dance, eggs were laid on the ground or floor and the goal was to dance among them damaging as few eggs as possible.
