A French dance, identical to the ‘courante’, with which I trust you are familiar. The lavolta is also a dance, ‘for two persons consisting a good deal in high and active bounds’.
Don’t attempt this at home without adult supervision.
‘Orlando, it is true, was none of those who tread lightly the corantoe and lavolta; he was clumsy and a little absent-minded.’
