The Chapelloise () is a traditional folk dance with change of partners (a so-called mixer), belonging to the standard repertoire of a Balfolk. Its most common name in France and the French-influenced European Balfolk scene is Chapelloise, but the dance has many other names in different countries.
== History == The French name “La Chapelloise” is derived from a village in eastern France, Chapelle-des-Bois: Legend says that André Dufresne was teaching the dance there in the 1970s, and since participants did not remember its original name, the dance got famous by the name of the village where the workshop took place.
