It could best be described as swinging to rhythm and blues, just get started with a few basic steps and moves, and let the music take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">The instruments in Cajun music include the fiddle, diatonic accordion, guitar, string bass, and the triangle providing percussion. The singing, done in the old Cajun French language, is one of the most inspiring sounds you\u2019ll ever hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">If you would like to experience it all first hand, come to the Cajun dances held monthly in Pittsburgh from October through June.
