Thank you so much. A lifetime's enjoyment from the Regency novels of Georgette Heyer have left me with curiosity about some of their dances. Delightful. Thank you.
I can imagine the bemusement of people who lived in the first two decades of the 19th century at such faithful replication of their dress and dancing, two hundred years on. The clothes of that era were so elegant, the Empire Line dresses. I can never understand how the fashion turned back to fussily-decorated crinolines in ensuing decades.
I'm just reading some Dickens and reference being made to a new year's party quadrille dance, in 1835/6, I wanted to actually see what it involved. Lovely video, thanks!
Try to find the book The Quadrille, by Ellis A. Rogers, 2003 ISBN 0-9546344-0-3 In this book you wil find explations of steps , calling and the choreography of a.o. Paine's first set of Quadrilles! Alsof look to www.quadrilles.co.uk Publications Ellis Rogers & Quadrille club. Success, Maria Angad Gaur
Also one can purchase or download in some manner US's Dancetime Publications How to Dance Through Time Vol. VI. 19th Century Ball Charm of Group Dances instructional book and DVD and music dvd. Hopefully UK and US materials will be enough for quadrille in West and East Europe North and South America Philippines perhaps the 3 exFrench and/or English islands or etc. more.
Great performance !!! Also, has your group thought of extending its repertoire to include versions from other parts of.W.Europe, NE Europe, N America, Mexico, C+ S America, Mexico. Caribbean, Seychelles + Mauritius, Philippines. etc There are probably dance teachers + groups from.other above places around W Europe --- Aruba +Curacao, Surinam ?
