Dance Information

Joie de vivre (from the French joie, "joy"; de, "of"; vivre, "to live, living";
"the joy of living") is a term sometimes imported into English to express a
cheerful enjoyment of life; an exultation of spirit.

In English common usage, the phrase is sometimes corrupted to joie de vie. This
would translate to "joy of life" or "zest for life," rather than the more
affirmative "joy of living." Joie de vive is another common spelling error.

The devisor lived in Pretoria, South Africa.
