Pride and Prejudice: Meryton Assembly, Dance 3

[@romulusthemainecoon3047]

There was so much more humanity, life, and energy in this adaptation of Pride and Prejudice! And I just love this scene, wonderful music, wonderful shy courtship between Jane and Bingley...

[@floffy2695]

It's one of the reasons I prefer this to the BBC mini series... it might have been book accurate, but this was much more lively and romantic

[@artsyweirdo]

I just realized that the way this scene is filmed - it’s Darcys Point of View! And he keeps fixating on Lizzy 😍😍😍

[@ReneeCamus]

Aw, that's sweet! Not sure I agree, but I like the way you think. :)

[@DanielSelk]

That totally makes scenes cause his observations are revealed in the scene he proposes to Lizzy the first time and some of them are here and at the ball.

[@redbloodbluemoon1423]

Yes, I felt the same.

[@Amira-tr5wn]

How are you sure bout that ?

[@tohorateamaau7531]

Yes because he moved from his spot (dragging Bringley 's sister along with him in the middle of the crowd and she is just hating it)just to get closer to the dancers and in the same have a chance to meet and speak again with Lizzie. And it paid off. Good move Mr Darcy👍😁🎼🎻🎶💟

[@fernandoiturburu3718]

God bless Jane Austen for giving this beauty to humanity!

[@mlamber7780]

Yes! Have a blessed evening. ❤️

[@gracepuckett9653]

I agree with you on that I love Jane Austin book version and the 1995 version and this one I love the dance better than the 1995 version

[@0230Raveena]

I just love how he was walking in the crowd seemingly towards her while looking at her ignore him completely.

[@ReneeCamus]

Well, she had more important dancing to do! :)

[@0230Raveena]

Very true Indeed. Apparently Dancing back in those days was very important in social gatherings. It was probably one of the few opportunities that people get to meet and interact.

[@ReneeCamus]

Absolutely! That's part of why I love this clip so much. This is how people partied back in the days before TV and radio (and many people still do). :)

[@LeeLee19901]

Everyone looks like they having a good time. One of my favorite scenes in the movie. It always puts a smile on my face.😁

[@ReneeCamus]

Me too! :)

[@carolineforbes2701]

I love how everyone is so energetic and full of life in this scene i dont see many people at parties like this anymore its sad i wanna go back to this century

[@Mybpeterson]

This scene was filmed at the tail end of the filming. By then they all knew each other and didn't have to fake having so much fun together. A brilliant move by Joe Wright, the director. My favorite moment is at 0:36 when Lizzy says "I nearly went the wrong way." It was spontaneous; she really did almost go the wrong way, but it showed a natural ease you'd expect to see between sisters. They wisely kept it in the scene.

[@wasanmuhsin5306]

me too

[@DragonriderEpona]

Also, I personally find dancing historical dancing more enjoyable as you first of all dance in groups so you can enjoy it more with the people around you. And secondly because there are quite a lot of dances where the music goes faster and faster so you need to keep up with the music and the musicians usually stop when nobody can follow the music anymore :D

[@cici6573]

Me too

[@jaked2485]

Really. No tampons or sanitary pads. Just rags that you would have to wash out and reuse. Outdoor toilets that would have stank, no modern medicine and dying in childbirth. No voting or property rights. And you want to go back to this time period. You wouldn't last a week

[@mrpurser3136]

Country dances! I think their charming.

[@ReneeCamus]

Indeed! And they're more fun to do than to watch. :)

[@mandychapin9411]

Compared to today's bumping and grinding dance, this dancing is so playful and sweet!

[@ReneeCamus]

It is! It's so fun, and can be extremely romantic and passionate too (ie: some of the slower ones)! :)

[@ReneeCamus]

@Jonathan Parks Sure it is. Why not? Mr. Beveridge's Maggot, Duke of Kent's Waltz, Joy After Sorrow, Hole in the Wall... In fact, I'd say more often than not ECD has the incorrect reputation of being static and stately and boring, when there are lots of fun, fast, exciting English country dances. Do you dance, Jonathan?

[@gina4196]

And he said she couldn't tempt him!!

[@tamilmathi1885]

That is the pride in him ☺

[@blinggo4982]

I find this music more soothing than modern day music..

[@ReneeCamus]

I believe that! :)

[@motherofpearlmusic2015]

Sitting here, socially distanced, and very much wanting to dance like this 😅

[@ReneeCamus]

ME TOO! I miss it so much, and no amount of Zoom dancing (including my own class on Wednesdays) can really take its place. :')

[@Amira-tr5wn]

Always smiling till i feel tears in my eyes watching this scene , so much good vibes , interactions between people , smiles , modesty , very beautiful ❤️

[@stephencleere2784]

I just love this music listen to it every day, also watch the film frequently. thanks for uploading.

[@ReneeCamus]

My pleasure! I love it too. :)

[@beena398]

Imagine Mr. Darcy jumping for the dance. 😄 Mr. Darcy with his superb acting skills,handsome face and minute mannerisms scores more than anyone else in this film, but in the book its Eliz. Anyone who reads P&P, after watching the film will have Mr. Matthew in mind as Mr. Darcy. I believe.. A film for all times..

[@Keepinitreal55]

For me Colin Firth will forever be the imagine of Darcy. I love Matthew but he’s a bit like a sad bear. Colin had that proper pride and reserve and just so hott!

[@melissarenault2185]

Dancing the Best situation to know to appreciate and to love 😍 someone... Oh my !

[@alymitchell3820]

I wanna be at this ball right now! 🎉🎉🎉

[@ReneeCamus]

(...especially considering there's no in-person dancing right now anyway) Agreed! :)

[@7prudent]

""I remember, when we first knew her in Hertfordshire, how amazed we all were to find that she was a reputed beauty; and I particularly recollect your saying one night, after they had been dining at Netherfield, 'She a beauty!-I should as soon call her mother a wit.' But afterwards she seemed to improve on you, and I believe you thought her rather pretty at one time." "Yes," replied Darcy, who could contain himself no longer, "but that was only when I first saw her, for it is many months since I have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance.""

[@zonemusik]

This music and dance is soo good 💛💛

0:10 Mr. Darcy - “ What a bunch of tossers!!” 😂

[@ReneeCamus]

Lol!!

[@maryelaine-blinstrubchambe6083]

I think you are wrong. He's drawn to Elizabeth because of her zest for living. He wants to be part of it. He's not static he too, in his fashion is moving with the music and to her.

[@leebridges1674]

I'm so glad you posted this. It's the most delightful and energetic dance in the film, IMO. I believe the tune is called "Dutch Dollars" but I couldn't find it anywhere.

[@ReneeCamus]

Thanks Lee. I agree about the dance in the film. :) I'm pretty sure Dutch Dollars is a different tune and dance though. This tune is Young Widow.

[@leebridges1674]

Thanks. I'll check for it.

[@ReneeCamus]

@@leebridges1674 I was just doing some more research and Dutch Dollars is the tune played during the Netherfield ball, when Caroline and Darcy dance and she feels like she's going to be forced to chase a piglet. :) It's on the soundtrack as "Can't Slow Down."

[@Bella-fz9fy]

It’s called ‘the tythe pig ‘ and the dance goes back to 1561!Its a jig so nice and lively!

I so wish this is how people socialized nowadays

[@ReneeCamus]

For many of us, it still is! Well, it was before the pandemic shut everything down... so now we meet and dance and socialize over zoom. It's not quite the same thing, but we're keeping the community together. Where do you live? I bet there's some dancing where you are... :)

[@ariannemilosavljevic9825]

Even in big cities like Los Angeles, where I am, it took me some time to find the community. :) And for now, we're meeting over Zoom, which is easier to join from anywhere! :)

@@ReneeCamus oh cool! I live in Southern California too, in Redlands

[@ReneeCamus]

@@ariannemilosavljevic9825 Oh great! There's LOTS of dancing in Southern California. It might be a bit of a drive for you since you're so far East, but there is so much! Pasadena has a lot, and then other places too. I mostly teach in Culver City, but there's also Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange County etc. Of course everything is closed right now because of the pandemic, and we're meeting and dancing over Zoom, but hopefully things can pick up again in the future. Check out Culver City English Country Dance (www.culvercityecd.com), the California Dance Co-Op (caldancecoop.org), the Historical Tea & Dance Society, Orange County English Country Dance... just to get started. All of these are on Facebook too. :)

[@imisstoronto3121]

This is the one track I wanted to hear and it's not on the movie soundtrack!! I see the name below, thanks.

[@ReneeCamus]

Glad to help. :)

[@imisstoronto3121]

do you know if its possible to get a recording of this version? I've heard it elsewhere on YT but it sounds thin. This one is gorgeous.

[@ReneeCamus]

Do you mean a recording of this specific version from PnP, or just a recorded version of the tune? The tune is for the dance Young Widow (and the dance they're doing here looks similar), so there are recordings of Young Widow out there. For example, Bare Necessities plays it (on the album CDS Boston English Dance Collection Vol. 6: At the Ball) and they're wonderful. I also see a recording called The Pride and Prejudice Collection, Vol III by The Pemberley Players, but I'm not familiar with it myself. If you get it or hear it, let me know what you think. :)

[@imisstoronto3121]

Renée Camus yes this specific version of The Young Widow.

[@ReneeCamus]

Oh, no, I don't know about that. You're right, it's not on the soundtrack. Don't know why, but that's a shame. You could always yank it from KZbin with software or a website (not that I condone such behavior). ;)

[@user-98aos]

0:27 i loooove this part 😭💗✨ What's the name of this dance?

The tune is called The Young Widow, and what they're dancing in the film is pretty close to the dance by that name. :)

I hear a violin (I think), or perhaps a flute over the main fiddle. I don't think it's a voice though. :)

@@aminatabetderraz7056 It's called English country dancing! It's really fun and there are lots of places in many cities where you can try it. Where do you live? I encourage you to find it where you are.

[@MrChristopherMag]

Does anyone know what the dance is called before this one? The one where Jane and Mr. Bingley first dance where they bow to each other and sort of circle around each other.

[@ReneeCamus]

I know the scene you're talking about, but I didn't see it on KZbin anywhere so I added it myself! :) Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH3UfahpqceogZI I don't know the tune or dance in that one, yet. I'm looking into it and I'll let you know if I find out. :)

@@MrChristopherMag the steps are certainly familiar; it looks like it could be a real dance... I just don't know what it is yet. :)

[@ReneeCamus]

I've found out (and noted on the video for this dance): the tune is called Black Bess, but the dance they're doing is nothing like the Playford instructions for Black Bess. :)
