@@GlitterCookie - was that the standard to wear at dances back in those days? did the ladies bring an extra pair of shoes, dance slippers, for dancing? And which dress were you wearing in this dance? I love the style of that time era.
@@bevalee1533 it was common to change shoes for the ballroom, but not exactly what we wear now (which are modern leather ballet shoes)--historical shoes had a bit more structure to them, and an actual toe box. I'm in the pale pink plaid. If you're ever in New England you should come dance with us! We teach about once a month.
i remember caricatures about hoopskirts and the women`s ignorance of the "naughty sights" they offered while women moved around their daily lives. I also always wondered why it was so popular for men to sit at the edges of the rooms and watch the dancefloor. I had a somewhat hard time to imagine the whole thing, never having worn a hoopskirt myself, but with the way you can literally see the lace edges of these ladies`s bloomers during some of the more active dances, it all becomes too clear. ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed watching these dances! The dances are (in order) 1. The Danish Dance 2. A figure from the Prince Imperial Quadrille 3. A Polka 4. A figure from L'Alliance 5. The Cazorti 6. A figure from a quadrille we call The Quadrille 7. A Second Polka 8. The Spanish Dance

Women often danced with each other back then. They could only dance with the same man twice, if they were single. So if they wanted to dance, it had to be with other women. Besides, a lot of men were off to war. So they weren’t available to dance.

The deep blue gown is especially effervescent!
I do not think that word means what you think it does.
I recognized the second tune from the 1985 miniseries, "North and South".

You need men
Okay..
There's nothing wrong with women dancing together. Perhaps they're dancing with each other and not with men because they prefer it that way.
