Galliard

Financially stricken former owner Infrared has sold the centre under administration to Galliard Homes and DVS Ground Rent in a joint venture deal.

Galliard Apsley Partnership has acquired the Glasgow site.

Building on the success of The GALLIARD in Istanbul, Founding Partner, Ahmet Uras and his team hosted the official opening party at their Dubai offering at The Address Downtown Hotel.

A galliard pattern may also last twice as long, or more, which would involve 11 steps, or 17 steps.

Another special step used during a galliard is the tassel kick (Salti del Fiocco).

Dance form As a dance, the galliard was definitely not one to be improvised.

In one measure, a galliard typically has five steps; in French such a basic step is called a cinq pas and in Italy, cinque passi.

It even includes a complete three-strain galliard, followed by an expansive coda (for a performance on YouTube, see under 'External links' below).

The galliard is an athletic dance, characterised by leaps, jumps, hops and other similar figures.

The main feature that defines a galliard step is the last two beats consist of a large jump, landing with one leg ahead of the other.
