This tune is listed as Dans a Carre. However "stonemanherny" tells us that "The song is "Danse Carre'", Square Dance. Cajuns weren't allowed to speak French at school, much less write or spell it; therefore the names of songs often got lost. Dennis Magee recorded a version, some years ago. "

Thank you stonemanherny!

Be sure to watch through to the amazing ending as 15 year old Amanda Shaw entertains the crowd at Lakeside Mall in Metairie, LA just 2 months after Katrina.

  • Oh thank you! My baby loves it and she is happy and falling asleep now!

  • @stopglobalswarming Wow, that's awesome. I kind of like my video "Amanda Shaw - Lovers' Waltz " for a soft, relaxing song, or try "Amanda Shaw - Perridin Two Step". I'm sure you'll enjoy them all. Thanks!

  • Is the guy on the guitar Dans a Carre or is that the name of the tune? My francais is lousy.

  • Dans a Carre is the name of the tune. It translates to In the Square. The New Orleans French Quarter is also known as the Vieux Carré, Old Square. The square being Jackson Square.
