[@hectorsmommy1717]

I realize you need to stay with recent movies to keep your audience but the best dance scene ever in a period drama is the "Shall We Dance" waltz from The King and I

[@jtarde]

I was about to post the same exact thing

[@Ohmygatos35]

There was so much chemistry there 🔥

[@leahhailstones2457]

I loved that movie!

[@brookedowd7747]

YEP THIS MOVIE AND DANCE

[@gigirauchut1882]

The Knightley and Emma dance in the 2020 adaptation of Emma deserved an honorable mention...the amount of sexual tension in that scene was unbelievable

[@ajpat9620]

The dance scenes in Anna Karenina are mystifying and enchanting, to say the least.

[@sandramatras8345]

I'd put it top of the list!

[@MarcyStevonshy]

Just what I was thinking too! I couldn't sit still just WATCHING the dance, the tension was palpable and I loved every UNGLOVED second

[@meuthianabilapratiwi5535]

IKR

[@pamgloria8877]

Anna Karenina should have been #1. That whole movie is a masterpiece and that dance scene definitely evokes the most feelings for me

[@janewildly]

Omg, That dance scene is my dream dance if I ever get married.

[@loubug9309]

But the Sound of Music deserves the #1 spot. It s a classic and shall stay that way, and it melts anyone’s heart when they see it.

[@justynawojcicka5056]

It was beautiful but I prefer English Patient

[@lisarossini9724]

Absolutely

[@lisarossini9724]

I mean Anna Karenina is by far the best

[@diegoperezcotto7938]

The Drama dance of Cinderella & Prince Kit in the movie live action of Cinderella 2015 is the coolest,cutest and awesome drama dance ever in the universe for Disney

[@KaliBoyinPDX]

I was expecting to see Katherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas from The Mask of Zorro. That was an epic dance! 💃

[@kamryncarter3770]

I can’t believe they forgot any one of the frary dances on Reign. Their last dance always brings tears to my eyes!

[@bookwormed-geek7772]

Here I am looking for Pride and Prejudice. Right off the bat I could sense their chemistry and to this day I don't deny that Pride and Prejudice is still one the greatest period romances. Fight me.

[@jaimicottrill2831]

Except the 2005 version is not really like the book. The characters are all in there but they changed the personalities and motivations for the characters which changed their character arcs. If you want to see a proper version of Pride and Prejudice then watch the BBC miniseries from 1996. That is definitely the most faithful adaptation. Keira and Matthew did have great chemistry but I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more if they hadn’t been called Pride and Prejudice. Sorry.

[@rushatibhattacharyya867]

@@jaimicottrill2831 you can't judge how good a movie is by it's faithfulness to the source material. The director can take artistic liberties if he wishes too. Pride and Prejudice is one of the best period dramas ever made. Of course the experience of reading a book can never be matched by a film , but the 2005 film is truly great.

[@jaimicottrill2831]

@@rushatibhattacharyya867 but if a book as famous as Pride and Prejudice has “artistic liberties “ taken with it so that it doesn’t really feel like the book, shouldn’t we be allowed to be upset by that? The 2005 movie was aesthetically pleasing and had a great cast but, it changed important things about P&P that made the movie disappointing. Bear in mind that this is just my opinion! :)

[@rushatibhattacharyya867]

@@jaimicottrill2831 well of course as a fan of the book you may or may not be happy with the adaption. You find it disappointing , I on the other hand feel it perfectly catches the essence of the characters and we couldn't have asked for a better cast. They are so perfect , the relation between the sisters , the lovers , Mr and Mrs Bennett. It's a movie I can watch again and again. Maybe my review is a little biased because it's the movie I saw first and the book I read later. This movie made me a fall in love with Jane Austen. English not being my mother tongue , I wasn't very aware of her work and the 2005 movie was the beginning.

[@jaimicottrill2831]

@@rushatibhattacharyya867 well, I’m glad you have fallen in love with the works of Jane Austen! They are all great books, although P&P is the most well known one. Enjoy future readings!

[@selenabritroma]

It's amazing how you can create sexual tension without a stich of clothing being removed.

[@diegoperezcotto7938]

The drama dance of Edith Cushing & Sir Thomas Sharpe in the movie of Crimson Peak 2015 is the coolest,cutest and prettiest drama dance in all the time and I like when we can see Loki dancing with Edith Crushing

[@diegoperezcotto7938]

The drama Dance of Maria & Captain Von Trapp in the classic romantic and musical movie called The Sound of Music 1965 is the coolest,iconic and cutest drama dance ever in the movie

[@ZAHRAMH]

I love this list , but i think Mary and Francis last dance in "Reign" was amazing too

[@tayo380]

It had me in tears the first time I watched it, it should have been here 🥺🥺

[@ronaldwebster9683]

Where was The Young Victoria? That dance scene between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert was magical!!!

[@diegoperezcotto7938]

Maria & Captain Von Trapp and Rose DeWitt Bukater & Jack Dawson they are the most iconic,best,prettiest and cutest drama dances ever in different movies

[@deerinthewoods]

for me, it's absolutely the dance scene from Emma. (2020) - beautiful, utterly mesmerizing

[@diegoperezcotto7938]

The drama Dance of Rose DeWitt Bukater & Jack Dawson in Titanic 1997 is one of the coolest,prettiest and iconic drama dance ever in the movie of Titanic 1997

Anyone else secretly hoping for the mask of Zoro dance to come up?🤞

[@gordongekko0110]

I ddi! Period drama, but it forgets other costume periods.

[@amidthephantomsrose]

I know, that was an amazing dance sequence and the chemistry was on fire!

[@NicoleTunis]

Yes I was about to comment that Elena and Alejandro's very heated and passionate dance is missing from the list! But I was also hoping that Maria and Captain Von Trapp's dance was high up the list

Okay a little disappointing that the dance between Victoria and Albert at the coronation ball from The Young Victoria didn’t make the cut. That scene is *chef’s kiss*

Was it just me waiting here for Charlotte and Sidney's dance from Sanditon episode 6? No words, just music and the two of them with their undeniable chemistry and the tension 😍❤️

[@noratraumberger958]

No, not just you! I was expecting their magical dance to be mentioned. Of course, not the one from the 1st ball, but the one from the mesmerizing, golden dance from ep6. The most enchanting dance scene from Sanditon!!!

[@sylwiab1156]

@@noratraumberger958 yes! Agree 100% 😍

[@sandigokdag5319]

Completely agree

[@LRyan-li9wr]

Natalia and Andrei....this is the best dance scene ever in the history of time.

[@julkasteven8198]

Lily James & Keira Knightley are the Dancing Queens of Period Drama Dances. BTW The Quote from Cinderella (2015) "Believe me, They're looking at You" always Gets me whenever I only think of IT.

[@isabelalima414]

You forgot the dance of Elena De La Vega and Alejandro in The Mask of Zorro ... Perfect and sensual dance.

[@janebute6203]

Christopher Plummer really had it all.

[@ajpat9620]

RIP to the terrific legend.

[@MrBuzzcut26]

Scarlett and Rhett at the Atlanta bazaar. From Scarlett shocking the confederacy to her prophetic line “that’s something you’ll never hear from me” - the scene and chemistry are perfect. Plus none of the others have a fainting Aunt Pittipat.

[@brookedowd7747]

IT’S ABSOLUTELY CRAZY HOW EMMA. 2020 WASNT EVEN MENTIONED WHAT ON EARTH besides that, i loooove the sound of music dance scene and that’s the one i definitely remember falling in love with

[@melanie62954]

I know, that's one of the best dance scenes in all Austen adaptations--I like the 2009 miniseries but the dance doesn't compare.

[@deerinthewoods]

I can only assume they didn't see it, it's honestly the only possible explanation...

[@osazuwademiirowa-omoregie2500]

The music was so simple yet the tension was strong

[@ndilatungu4057]

love the sound of music dance scene between maria and the captain. the little boy tried his best and it was fun watching

[@JulianaRumple]

What about the dance on a Knight’s tale to a “golden years” remix, sooooo good. ♥️

[@deby5983]

My favorite will always be "So Close" from Enchanted. They realize their love for each other during the dance.

[@cheriem432]

I agree. It would have been so much nicer if it had been an actual waltz, though.

[@isaacmartinez6904]

Brooklyn, Pride and Prejudice and War and Peace (1966 Soviet Version) have some of the best dance sequences in my opinion.

[@R989D]

Reign - “Mary and and Francis’ Stay with me dance ” though any of the series dance scenes. I like the classic covers of modern songs.

[@HaleyRadiant]

Omg LOVING the War & Peace miniseries get some love somewhere! It’s so good!! 👏☺️❤️

[@CuddleBunny1901]

Mary and Francis Stay with me from reign dance should have at least been somewhere on this list

The English Patient

[@justynawojcicka5056]

So happy that u mentioned pride and prejudice

The waltz in Young Victoria had beautiful music and a stunning choreography

[@ajpat9620]

Wondering if the black-and-white dream dance between Elisa Esposito and the Amphibian Man in Guillermo del Toro's romantic fantasy period masterpiece The Shape of Water counts here, despite of its time period set in the 1960s. Like, that dance sequence is mystifying, enchanting, and beautiful.

[@ajpat9620]

The dances in the 2019 and the 1994 versions of Little Women should have been here. Like, they're all terrific.

Edith Cushing and Thomas Sharpe in Crimson Peak!

[@nolabels2331]

Great list, but I have to tell you that you missed a dance, that totally deserves an honorable mention to say the least: Charlotte and Sidney's most magical dance from ep6 of Sanditon! that is absolutely beautiful, mesmerizing and you can feel the chemistry between them through the screen! Go check it out!

[@tasqeendahal4053]

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray dance scene in dirty dancing in 1987 should be here

[@ajpat9620]

It's contemporary and not of that period piece. So, it doesn't count within this list.

[@radioheadtv3131]

Yeeessssssss I was thinking of Sound of Music and I was skipping until hopefully I find it and I did :)

[@tdwmaddie907]

Love all of these ... but also love the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth.

Would have given Crimson Peak #1!

[@angelicamenichini2412]

Emma and Pride and Prejudice! My favourite! Memorable mentions for me : Mary and Matthew in Downton Abbey and Mary and Francis in Reign

[@kxue]

EMMA. (2020) is definitely the best one in my opinion. P&P (2005) is a close second.

[@obsessivefangirl5055]

Emma 2020 scene between Mr. Knightly and Emma not even an honorable mention? That dance scene makes me blush far more than any raunchy scene I have ever seen!

[@marianamartins2898]

What about the Zorro dance?? António and Catherine were legendary in that dance. And the dance between Queen Victoria and Albert in Young Victoria or the Victoria series! Both worth at least honourable mentions, but oh well

[@cidneythompson9584]

You are so right!!!! That dance was amazing!!

[@beatricenova1543]

The valzer scene in "The Leopard", 1963, which also inspired the dance scene in Cinderella.

[@aarya3262]

I think Anne and Gilbert's dance in Anne with an E should have been there in the list. Everything was so good in it. The banjo played by Moody and both the actors were phenomenal in the scene.

[@sandragomez6003]

I came here for the dance of Elena and Alejandro from Zorro. Better be here! Edit: ... ... ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME???

[@gabrielaschwingelferreira7318]

Janes Austen three times? It is a dream

[@saraburgess9541]

Personally I think Cinderella should not be on this list as it is clearly more of a fantasy movie and not set in any set period of history. So instead of Cinderella there could have been Zorro, Emma (2020 version), Anna & the King, The Favourite or even Young Victoria. Best save Cinderella for best fantasy dance scenes where it can go against the likes Beauty & the Beast, Rocky Horror, Enchanted or Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

[@ajpat9620]

Cinderella still counts in this list due to its period setting and background, despite being more of a fantasy movie.

[@michaelcain9324]

[@valyrianmoghul]

I was waiting for Albert and Victoria from the Victoria tv show.

[@diegoperezcotto7938]
