FRENCH MINUET. Two-Step, Waltz. Key of G. Canada, United States. This dance is neither French nor a minuet, but rather a pattern dance probably of early 20th-century American origin, and popular in Canada. It alternates between two-step and waltz rhythm, similar to the older Rye Waltz and the Butterfly. Either the waltz part or the two step part can be played first.
