The Carabinier (Haitian Creole: Karabinye, English: carabineer) is a traditional cultural dance from Haiti that originated back to the time of the Haitian Revolution deriving from a section of the kontradans that is said to have evolved into the méringue or mereng (Haitian Creole) dance.[1][2][3][4]

Origins

Just after the Revolution of 1804, European figure dances (contredanse, lancers, and the quadrille), accompanied by Kongo influences (chica, banboula and the kalenda), hybridized into a couples dance named after the Carabiniers rifle regiments in the Haitian army.[5]

gollark: My theory on use of walls: I think if you're attacked you automatically fight back, yes? Presumably the walls just distract the automatic fighting mode.

gollark: Pfft, *defenses*.

gollark: Yet another problem with the event: it's cheaper to destroy and rebuild the snow cannons than it is to repair them.

gollark: Waiting for materials for more expensive weapons, not that they'll probably do much.

gollark: That's what I'm doing. It's great.
