A Beguine was originally a Christian lay woman of the 13th or 14th century living in a religious community without formal vows, but in the creole of the Caribbean, especially in Martinique and Guadeloupe, the term came to mean white woman, and then to be applied to a style of music and dance, and in particular a slow, close couples dance. This combination of French ballroom dance and Latin folk dance became popular in Paris and spread further abroad in the 1940s. Begin the Beguine - words and music by Cole Porter.
