The gigue or giga is a lively baroque dance in a compound metre such as 6/8, 9/8 or 12/16.

I don't think there is a set structure of Gigues as Bach's definately varied.
You are safe to call this a Gigue provided its in the one of those time signatures.

A really good work. Perhaps you can add a second half though with some inversions or moulation.

I have been pleased with what I have heard of your works so far.
I hope to hear more.
