Bal de l'X Quadrille des Lanciers @ Opera Garnier Paris, France on May 12, 2023 [FULL DANCE]
Students from École Polytechnique, France's top engineering school, dance the traditional Lancer's Quadrille at the Opera Garnier in Paris, France on May 12, 2023. It is the 131st edition of the Bal de l'X, an annual fundraising gala under the high patronage of the President of France. The charity event is organized by the Alumni Association of Ecole Polytechnique, the "Grande Ecole" also known by its nickname "X."
The Lancers' Quadrille, created in Dublin in 1818, was a very popular dance during the 19th century and soon became a key ingredient of social events during the Second Empire thanks to Empress Eugenie. The only other opportunity to see this dance is at the Ecole Royale Militaire de Belgium.
A succession of bows, curtsies and salutations are danced during the five figures: the Drawers, the Lines, Ladies' Star, Honour Your Neighbour and the Grand Chain, followed by a Polka Step. A prompter calls the figures, maintaining the British tradition.
The Drawers -- The dancers pass round each other, imitating the back and forth movement of a drawer.
The Lines -- There are two parallel line formations for the "avant huit," when the eight dancers, in two lines of four, move forward four steps, bow and move backward four steps.
Ladies' Star -- Ladies give their right hands across to each other and circle round. The movement resembles the turning of a wheel or a mill.
Honour Your Neighbour -- The first and second gentlemen lead their partners to the dancers on their right to whom they bow and curtsy.
The Grand Chain -- Dancers intertwine in their paths like a linked chain. This figure ends with a Polka Step.

So much joy and emotion in an already exhilarating show! Thank you Brian May for the memorable surprise performance, thank you Ben Elton for writing the show and now starring in it as the hilariously passionate Pops (with his precious VIE-DAY-OH!) & thank you to the cast and crew for demonstrating that London is still where it's at for incredible musical talent! To see the show at the London Co...

In Denmark we have our own version of the dance. I love to dance it.
Je l’ai danse en 1871 a la fin de la guerre et après la commune de paris.
Caltech and MIT should add dancing like this to the courses required for graduation.
México invento las cuadrillas

Très belle prestation. Un spectacle magnifique dans un cadre grandiose digne de cette école prestigieuse.
I came from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!
Top belle cette fille, elle crève l'écran. Qui est-elle?
Muy bello bendiciones gracias
Eh ben, si c'est tout ce qui nous reste !!!
Wow I love France !
L élite de la nation gardienne des traditions Bravo!
L'élite de la nation à abandonné les Français ! Nos traditions vont disparaîtres. Et ces gens portent une lourde responsabilité.
I am thoroughly enjoying this video!! The dresses in red which compliment the men's uniforms just fine.
VIVE LA FRANCE !
Bellas parejas de baile gracias bendiciones gracias
La fin est plus....victoire !
J'ai vu ...plus...
C'est has been !
L'élite a la danse a la danse dans la peau on dirait !
les pince fesses de l'x c'est un peu compassé
Pour nous les ouvriers laissaient nous la java ! une question combien sont fils de caissière de libre service?
Very boring dance.
Apres la Constitution comme Empereur des Francais, son plus bel oeuvre reste l’ecole polytechnique! Vive Napoleon! ❤ vive Le Code civil Napoleonien!
Je n'aime pas trop ce que cela représente, mais j'ai souvent entendu parler du quadrille des lanciers, mes grands parents qui n'étaient pas des bourges s'étaient connus à cette occasion mon grand-père faisant son service dans la cavalerie, et, lors du pas piqué il avait glissé et s'était étalé, alors on m'a raconté évidemment cette histoire pour m'amuser, (il y a au moins 70 ans peut-être même 75) c'était aux environs de 1908 et je suis content de voir à quoi ça ressemble. j'ai souvent fait travailler mon cheval sur cet air entrainant et on l'utilise aussi dans les carrousels
Despite the apparent opulence and uniformity, you would be surprised by the real diversity in cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds of the dancers you see before you.
@@zoeinthemetro Merci, j'ai fait quelques études et mes petits enfants vont dans les meilleures écoles ou les meilleurs facs du monde pour la spécialités qu'ils ont choisie, j'en connais le coût et ce n'est pas à la portée de tout le monde. il y a des quotas pour ceux venant de milieux modestes c'est très bien d'ailleurs. Je n'aime pas cet esprit de caste, ce sentiment de supériorité, et le mépris des autres, c'est la même chose à Scies Po ou à l'ENA pourtant sur le terrain le résultat n'est pourtant pas brillant, sans doute à cause de ça d'ailleurs.
Ben , vous n'avez pas l'air gai ..moi, j'ai fait le bal de l'X , il y a bien longtemps mais on en profitait plus que ça....🤔🤔
💃🏻🕺🏻
J adore ♥ je l ai danser quand j étais jeune
qu'est ce qu'ils et elles ont l'air tartes nos futurs enarques qui seront chargés de liquider tous ce que nos prédecesseurs ont mis des années à batir : l'Education nationale , la SNCF, la Poste , la Sécu , les hopitaux publics ; si vous voulez voir des bons danseurs regardez les Pros de l'opéra de Vienne
j avoue
Excellent choreography and wonderful evolution of the dancers!
magnifique !!!!
I loved it too...10/10
😴🥱
Io, spero che tornino in auge ancora i balli di quadriglia, rappresento uno stile ed un eleganza che, a mio parere, dovrebbe essere rispolverati. Oltre ad essere ballabili a tutte le età rappresentano la cultura della nostra Europa, che alcuni vorrebbero cancellare definitivamente.
Oui que Dieu protège l Europe. Tous les pays de ce continent sont superbes.
Vous avez tout à fait raison
In quasi tutte le città italiane ci sono associazioni o scuole in cui questi balli vengono praticati
A little different from Viena "Opernball" in Austria
Grande fête pour la victoire des alliés !
Je l'ai dansé an 1945 à la fin de la guerre !!!
How absolutely lovely! I only wish the camera person filming this had been positioned somewhere in the middle of those stairs, so that we might have gotten a better over-view of the forms of the dance!
Well, the camera person is going back on May 12 so stay tuned!
Ridicule, désuet, prétentieux …
😔
@@zoeinthemetro. Mais tant mieux si ça vous réjouis 😉 ! “Il en faut pour tout le monde” 🤷🏻♂️
A chacun ses goûts...
Beautiful!!
This dance was done when women were wearing full court hoops, wide and heavy. Dignity was the order of the day. It's fun to watch this and think of the Contra Dance fun I had on Saturday nights. The patterns are the same but the styling is very different.
I was also comparing to Contra. Contra form is more lively, but in long skirts, hoops, and high heels this is best they could do! Lovely to watch.
Aburrido y repetitivas figura😴😴
Dans l'ensemble, très bien mais chorégraphie non respectée à certains moments
