The dance is performed in a line, with the dancers joined by hooking their little fingers. They swing their arms, and take a short step to the right, a longer step to the left, so they drift steadily leftwards.[2]
An dro songs are part of the repertoire of almost any Breton singer or group, from traditional music such as that of Alan Stivell[3] and Tri Yann's Portraits,[4] to rock music such as the 1998 album La Ouache by Matmatah.
Non-Breton singers have included an dro songs on albums including Imeall by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan's vocalist).[5]
