En Dro

I'm wondering about the meaning of the words. Breton is supposed to be similar to Welsh. We say 'Hen Dro', in this part of North Wales when something sad or a mishap happens, literally translated the words mean - bad turn. I wonder what they mean in Breton.

En Dro

I''ve no idea of the language,but I think it means "in a circle". It's often written as An dro

En dro

In Breton language, Wendyan, "tro" (f.) means "bad turn" indeed, but the most common meaning is "turn".
"En" means "in" but in Vannes' dialect "en" ="an"
"An" is the article "the". Thus "an dro" (or "en dro" here) means "the turn".
And "an dro" is not a reel at all !

An dro

An dro is a generic type of dance from Brittany, and there are many an dro tunes, usually written in 2/4, brisk, with an even, driving type of rhythm. The dance is a line or open circle, leading to the left.
