Quadrille Club dancing the Beseda Quadrille

[@karenmurphy6749]

Oh, to be able to wear those gorgeous gowns & dance ever so lovely!!

[@lexiebeckstead16]

I loved watching it. Thanks for sharing. I wish this were the norm for parties now.

[@samaval9920]

Perhaps in Czech villages?

[@veronikavolhejnova5036]

@@samaval9920 This wasn't a village dance. In was a patriotic dance created for higher society (based on country dances, though)

[@Afrin_Ali]

Oh, it's so lovely to watch

[@miamimice6572]

This was all new and modern for them back then and the only way could touch someone you might like. I can here German musical influences in the music.

[@happyfelix1440]

Created in 1863. Suggested by Jan Neruda.

[@Xanubi]

Enchanting!!! I could not stop watching with a big ol' grin on my face! I wonder if my city has anything like this...!!

[@samaval9920]

Look for historical dance or re enactment AND OR Czech immigrant & descendant groups.

[@alistairville9303]

I think swing is quite a bit more fun than this appears to be. On the other hand, such a sedate dance would not not make you sweat - which would be an enormous bonus

[@vonvildenschwert3045]

It does make you sweat. Believe me. :-D

[@franklinhabit]

Won't make you sweat? Spoken like one who has never done this is in a ballroom in proper attire as part of an evening of dances 😂

[@samaval9920]

Quadrilles that use basic steps from 2 or several couple dances are more interesting, difficult & energetic- cakewalk, polka, galop, 2step, schottusche, waltz, nazurka,!etc. See videos unde” 19th century or Victorian dances” Postings are by Richard Powers Carnet de bal, Révérences, Coun des danseurs, E?? Terpsichor, etc. for For S American & Caribbean versions, (country name, like Argentina, + 19th century dances” etc.?

[@samaval9920]

See for example, 1899 Cake Walk Quadrille & 8:24 National 2 StepLancers’ Quadrille

[@samaval9920]

There are even quadrilles where each time all 4 couples go around the square they use s different basic step-!example-polka,then schottusche, galop, waltz,?mazurka rtc.- ALL in 1 !’ song, following specially composed music,Not sure what this dance/ music technique is called.

[@teresa5217]

Bravissimi! Complimenti!

[@ellisewalton8701]

Si élégant 😍

[@richardcleveland8549]

Quadrilles are always fun to watch - and this one to Czech tunes (one of which, at about 3:08, sounds like one of the numbers from Smetana's "Bartered Bride" - just a few seconds of it. And, of course, the elegant ballroom attire just adds to the visual pleasure. Great video - thanks.

[@veronikavolhejnova5036]

You are quite right - Smetana was one of the creators of this quadrille and was among the dancers who performed it for the very first time in 1863. He was an ardent dancer, when young, and wrote lots of dances, too. And these songs are known (and sometimes sung) as folk songs to this day

[@richardcleveland8549]

@@veronikavolhejnova5036 Thanks. I have a wonderful CD of "The Bartered Bride" recorder by Czech Victor in the early 1930s; it's one of my favorite operas . . . as joyous as it is, though, I always mourn for what happened to the Czech nation later on . . .

[@Fruityfruitcat]

This is absolutely beautiful 💕

MyRene1971 The tunes used were selected and arranged by Ferdinand Heller in1862 . I am told they are versions of Czech children's games and nursery rhymes. There are other KZbin versions of this dance where the words are sung during the performance. I have no translation of them ,sorry , Ellis

Eddy Heidenrijk There is no component. This is Česká beseda mix of Czech folk songs. Originally a danse of Czech and Moravian villagers. Find on utube Ceska beseda or Moravska beseda. Village dancing in original folk costumes.

[@ladaminuetkittens5216]

There are many Ceska beseda on utube. You can also find there those separated folk songs or nursery rhymes which creates this music. Pockej ja povim Sedlak sedlak sedlak Nechod tam, pojd rads k nam Kalamajka Mela jsem mileho parukare And many more

[@MidnightO42]

it seems so awkward at first glance

[@samaval9920]

Main awkwardness is in memorizing so many rather simple steps & in which order!

[@yikes_lazzy]

the lack of rhythm and proper coordination....
