Best Answer

Courante means running, and in the later Renaissance the courante was danced with fast running and jumping steps. During this period, there were two types of courante: French and Italian. In a Baroque dance suite, an Italian or French courante typically comes between the allemande and the Sarabande, making it the second or third movement. However the tempo is slow.

About 60-80 for beginners. 100-140 for well learned students and teachers.
