This lighhearted dance is takem fron Testudo Gallo-Germanico. The word Testudo means lute, or more literally "tortoise shell," from the myth that the first lute was the result of a tortoise decaying. Its entrails were stretched acroos the shell, and when plucked they had a musical sound. This unlikely story is widely quoted in early treatises.
