Половодье. Картины провинциальной жизни прежнего времени. О вальсе

Я помню, во времена моей молодости, каждый бездарный танцор всегда ненавидел вальс именно потому, что нигде не требовалось столько ловкости, силы и грации. Между тем, когда все вальсировали, не могли же и они оставаться столбами и тоже должны были пускаться в вальс, больше “на ура”, чем с уверенностью преодолеть это трудное для них дело. Но …

THE MONOPOLY OF THE VALSE.

It has been I danced a “deux temps,” a “trois temps,” with a hop, and with the body perfectly rigid, until at the present time a mixture of the deux temps and the hop valse finds favour. The slow, Redowa valse, introduced in London in 1846 by Mr Coulon, sonpopular a few years ago has entirely gone out of fashion, and this season a lively spring waltz of the trois temps order, played in German music, obtains the sway. The waltz movement which it contains has enabled the cotillion to replace the old fashioned quadrille. The lancers is much more stylish—and the music is in greater variety —than the quadrille, and it is not likely that it will fall into disfavour for some years. The barn dance is gradually but surely usurping the ordinary schottische on account of the ease with which progression is made.

ON THE DECAY OF THE DANCE

We dance nothing but the valse now in the suburbs, one set of lancers, perhaps, thrown in during the course of the evening.

UP-TO-DATE DANCING

People will waltz, even to polka, are-becoming a nation of waltzers, not of dancers. Programme of 18 or 24 dances three-fourths of them are waltzes, and quadrilles and the lancers

Новый вальс

For the information of my country cousins I may also add that the new valse is danced on the sole of the foot, and that it is impossible to valse smoothly if you dance on the tips of your toes. The new valse consists of four straight steps, with a turn between the filth and sixth. Of course you do not take the four straight steps in a line, but work round with them, but if you were to “step it out ” as dancing meters say, that is the form it would take. The toes are hardly turned out at all—in fact the modern valse is the exact opposite of the minuet, where pointing the feet is of the first importance.

A NEW DANCE!

A new dance of an entirely different character has taken the place of  “The Boston.” This dance can be described briefly. The dancers slide three times one way as last and as far as ever their legs will let them, and then three times in the opposite direction. It is absolutely necessary for the enjoyment of this waltz that both parties shall move simultaneously

The first thing was a quadrille; The next thing was a galop; After that there was a waltz ; We then departed,

Reminiscences of a waltzer

Shortly afterwards, the quick, or Russian waltz, was introduced by the Emperor of the Russia into this country; and till superseded in some measure, within the last four years, by the Prussian galloppe, and still fashionable Polish mazurka, it has maintained its ascendancy.

Модный танец Французский кадриль, а под конец бала – котильон. Вальс и мазурка изредка, а наших экоссезов, тампетов, матрадуров я здесь вовсе не видала, да многие про них и не слыхали.
