Original: The gigue is usually in 3/8 or in one of its compound metre derivatives, such as 6/8, 6/4, 9/8 or 12/16, although there are some gigues written in other meters (for example, the gigue from Bach's first French Suite (BWV 812), which is written in 4/4).
Simplified: The gigue usually has a compound metre such as 6/8, 6/4, 9/8 or 12/16.
