- Summary:
- Volume VI of the How to Dance Through Time series reveals the interplay of flirtatious 19th century group ballroom dances, including the Grand March, Lancers' Quadrille, and The Cotillion (Le Cotillon). This delightful video guides a choreographer in reenacting a stately and entertaining 1800s ball!An extravagant social event, dancers attending a ball, parade around the room to view prospective dance partners-and be viewed by others-in the Grand March. Next, learn the Lancers' Quadrille, a popular forerunner to the American square dance. Comprised of five sections, it exhibits a wide variety of the period's fluid, geometric patterns. Lastly, the coquettish Cotillon gives dancers many opportunities to pick and choose new partners in a complex, flirtatious series of dancing games.
