Opinion is divided as to whether the Estampie was actually a dance or simply early instrumental music. Sachs believes the strong rhythm of the music, a derivation of the name from a term meaning “to stamp” and the quotation from the Froissart poem above definitely label the estampie as a dance. However, others stress the complex music in some examples as being uncharacteristic of dance melodies and interpret Froissart’s poem to mean that the dancing begins with the carol. There is also debate on the derivation of the word “estampie”. In any case, no description of dance steps or figures for the estampie are known.
