Wakefield Hunt

This is such a lively dance. It runs on so fast and in a long ballroom one whizzes down the set without a pause for breath.
To learn the steps and figures of the dances of the English Regency period (about 1775-1830), go to RegencyDances.org See the notations, animations, videos and available music CDs for this and other dances.
This dance was danced by The Hampshire Regency Dancers and is shown here with their kind permission.

I can remember this dance from the 2005 version of pride & prejudice.

I preferred the 1995 version, the others are good in their own way, I think there's more character development in the mini series.

Just curious why Wakefield Hunt appears three times in a row! LOL
