[@martinafrank3882]

That's where it all began....beautiful recollection!!

[@juliewelton]

I really like the flute music.

[@kefaad]

I adore historical dances. I know several of them but there is no a society here in Athens....someone must help me to create one!

[@amath-dr7uk]

[@weedsieat]

[@kefaad]

@CaptainLilyJane I did some reading and watch several of them, it is easy to learn but not easy to find partners to dance with...especially in Greece...

[@loganfruchtman953]

[@CaptainLilyJane]

@kefaad totally agree! They should be more all over the world :) there aren't much teens in the same interest at all really of course. I love this! Where ever do you teach these 'dancemoves' and know their names? I would LOVE to learn the I just dont know how to. How did you learn them?

[@ProdigyImprovisation]

Beethoven a contradanse?? Wow wow wow! But some of the part sounds like the excerpts from the Eroica Symphony. So? That’s where he got that from after all!!

[@stephanielevas8795]

hello , it's possible for you to send me by mail the music of this danse? Thanks a lot

[@rstoertz]

With humility, let me say that this performance is singularly graceless and robotic.

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

Not surprising since they are dancing to a concoction of Beethoven pieces that have nothing to do with English Country dance. This dance should be done to something like an English reel which gives lift to the dancers and a proper indication of what they should be doing ... not this slightly confused plod. Frankly, it's all rather bizarre, and nothing whatsoever that Jane Austin would have done.

[@amath-dr7uk]

who wrote this beautiful music which is from Napoleons time??

[@thomaskurth8335]

This music is by Beethoven. Kontratänze WoO 14 no. 7,4, 1
