Pavane Day!!!

Check out all the cool Pavanes. [Pah-vons'].

A Pavane in Wikipedian states that:

A pavane is a slow piece of music which is danced to in pairs. The dancers usually step forward, lift up their legs, and point their toes.
The origin of this term is not known. Possibilities include the word being
  • from Italian "[danza] Padovana", meaning "[dance] typical of Padua" (as in Bergamask); this is consistent with the equivalent form, "Paduana"
  • or from the Spanish pavón meaning peacock (Sachs 1937, 356),
though the dance was "almost certainly of Italian origin" (Brown 2001).
