История мисс Елизы Варвик
Лорд Стамфорд с обыкновенною его ветренностью, подошел ко мне, просил моей руки, и препроводил меня на середину залы. "Вашу скрипку Тампль, играйте миновет, Мисс Варвик, и я, покажем вам что такое значит танцовать." Шум от похвал раздался во всей зале: мысль сия найдена весьма хорошею, и Полковник сделал с удовольствием, что ему приказывали. Я не …
Воспоминания о жизни Эдинбруга, начало 1800-х годов
В моей юности центром всех модных танцев, как и вообще всего модного и светского, была Джордж-сквер; в Боклю-Плейс (рядом с юго-восточным углом площади) были построены красивые залы, которые на несколько лет затмили высокомерный Новый город. Здесь сохранились последние остатки той дисциплины, которая царила в бальных залах предшествующей эпохи. Вдовы, ревнительницы строгого поведения, и почтенные поклонники …
Рождественская песнь в прозе.
А затем снова были танцы, а затем фанты и снова танцы, а затем был сладкий пирог, и глинтвейн, и по большому куску холодного ростбифа, и по большому куску холодной отварной говядины, а под конец были жареные пирожки с изюмом и корицей и вволю пива. Но самое интересное произошло после ростбифа и говядины, когда скрипач (до …
Письма сестер М. и К. Вильмот из России
Вы спрашиваете, что танцевала я в С.-Петербурге? Можете ли вы сомневаться в моем патриотизме? Конечно, ирландскую джигу под чудесную музыку Пэдди О'Раферти и даже повторила ее, к восторгу зрителей. Русские очень любят новинки, и наш танец стал настоящим криком моды. Что касается русских народных танцев, то они очень хороши, особенно один, под названием «цыганочка»; это …
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.
бальная программа
The galop is said to be tread and buried. Last year it still survived at the foot of a programme when those who wished it could remain and have a clear floor; but this all past history, for the galop has died a natural Death. Two valse consecutively have prevailed awning late seasons, but the polka, danced very slowly, will break up this monotony. Quadrilles are struggling for existence, so are even the breeze, but the latter have become so modified as to be hardly recognisable. […] Opinions vary as to the Highland schottische – four bars of reel, – four bars of schottische, da capo.
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
Придворный бал
The first thing was a quadrille; The next thing was a galop; After that there was a waltz ; We then departed,
Учили Королеву рилам
“we had great fun teaching H.M*. to dance reels; she could not at all manage the figure of 8 ; she never got back to her place in time, and “ one, two, three, hop,” was altogether above her comprehension, she being too dignified ever to hop on one foot”
