As no dancing was allowed in France because of the pandemic, the Méaudre Reel (France) decided to organise a weekly SCD creation workshop to keep its teenagers active. This workshop lasted for 3 months, from February to April 2021.  
The teenagers were impressive with their creations, so eager to be dancing again. We thus decided to gather all the Méaudre Reel dances and have a book printed: Dancing in Vercors Book1.  
Joie de Rire was created by one of the teenagers' teams during the weekly SCD creation workshop. They loved the title Joie de Vivre and as it was great fun creating this new dance, they called it Joie de Rire.
