From Wikipedia
The gigue or giga is a lively baroque dance originating from the English jig. It was imported into France in the mid-17th century and usually appears at the end of a suite.
The gigue was probably never a court dance, but it was danced by nobility on social occasions and several court composers wrote gigues. A gigue, like other Baroque dances, consists of two sections.
