Dancing at a Regency Ball — 4 Comments

  1. Thank you for this lovely post. In Denmark we still dance Les Quadrille to this day. A very specific Quadrille none the less. We adopted The Lancers Quadrille from the Brits, stole the music form the French and added our own fifth turn at the end. It’s a dance that is still danced at the Royal Court, in the armed forces and at our high schools (called Gymnasiums in danish). From these institutions the dance find it’s way to other occasions and festivities.
    I think it’s fascinating that such an old dance is still alive, though altered.
    Have a nice Sunday.
    Greetings from Nina in Denmark
