- This is the dance from the 2009 adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma". It might just be the loveliest dance of all the Jane Austen adaptations I've ever seen - and I've seen almost all of them. You can watch all episodes on BBC iPlayer. For more information go to: www.bbc.co.uk/emma
This is THE scene of this adaptation. It's magical. Also, I have found that this version of Emma is better and better every time I watch it. Jonny Lee Miller is perfection, in this and all of his roles I always feel like he has put thought into his character. And Romola Garai is a delight. I could watch this over and over again.
In the entire history of film , literature , entertainment- this is the most gloriously romantic scene possible. The acting is sublime, wonderful and unsurpassed. Thank you for your lovely post.
I love this scene! In the beginning, she's giggling like a little girl who is nervous/excited. By the second half, she's looking at him boldly straight in the eye, and he's the one who is having trouble keeping eye contact! It's so brilliant!
I lost count of how many times Ive watched this scene...just finished the book, going to watch the mini series again. God I love them so much...this song is so beautiful... *sigh*
Of the four adaptations, this one is the best ! The chemistry between Romola Garet and John Lee Miller is great. Whenever they quarrel, they are so natural as they are good friends for a long time. So good to see!!
What a lovely understated romantic scene. It beautifully done by both RG & JLM and you can see how it subtly changes from just a dance between "old friends" into a dance of "something more" and a slow awareness creeping into their `ship! Lovely!
now THIS is romantic...no crudeness, just pure adoration & affection!
My wife loves this scene so much that I tried to recreate it for her thirtieth birthday.
Was there a clip in your anniversary video? I bet she loved that, could see it in her face.
Yes, there was a clip there. The full reenactment is here:th-cam.com/video/j-Mqg2h7QyE/w-d-xo.html
@@clarkwevans i know it's a while ago now, but i hope your wife enjoyed her birthday. that was such a romantic thing to do,
@@clarkwevans l watched it. Thank you to share your emotional times ☺️😇
@@clarkwevans What a lovely and loving tribute to your wife's loves -- so sweet! She has a marvelous husband in you. Many more years of happiness to you both! 🙂
One of the finest dance scenes ever. Just wonderful. The whole serial is a delight and worth watching over and over. This scene and the proposal scene in particular. They would bring out the romantic in anyone. An enchanting production.
this is definately my favourite dance scene from any austen adaptations ! the music is just heavenly + knightley looks just GORGEOUS especially when he's looking at emma all nervous. just love it.
indeed :) I also love the subtle changes in Knightley's face during the dance, how seems to more and more realize his love for Emma by the second.
Haha Jane and Frank are right there giving their "secret looks". The Eltons look so miserable. All the while Emma and Knightley light up the room. Just beautiful.
This dance scene is just incredible in more ways than one.
This scene is absolutely beautiful. Great acting from both of them. I can feel the attraction and chemistry. It doesn't hurt that they're both good looking :D
And I'm in love with the music. Gorgeous.
we should all be so lucky to have someone look at us like that.
I just eat scenes like this up where the actors/actresses don't even need to say anything they just say it all in their face/actions. Aaaaah think it's why I love dance scenes in period dramas so much
oh, it's good to hear something as lovely from someone who knows what she's talking about, too! I couldn't agree more: the whole composition of the scene made me madly fall in love with this adaptation. I love how they don't need any words to communicate their feelings. perfect, really.
the BEST scene of the Best adaptation to screenof Emma! the emotion is just so honest it makes me smile like a fool. lol.
: 0:37 .. 5/11/23 - WHEN I first watched this show, I NEVER thought I'd fall or stay in love with this dance. SHALL be using it for MY wedding ❤.
I LOVE the way knightly/jonny lee miller looks at her whenever they have to move close to each other in the dance. Absolutely love this scene.
I think this a definite contender for one of the most romantic scenes ever! I must have watched it twenty times (and squealed like a teenager each time!) .
I absolutely adore the betraying eye flicker at 1:37. Brilliant acting from Jonny Lee Miller.
Thanks so much for posting this video!
I have the music as the ringtone on my phone, I miss calls just listening to it. This is what life should be like !. I think Romola Garai is wonderrful, fabulous stuff.
До чего же это прекрасно. Музыка, танец, игра главных героев. То, как это снято. Только немного не хватило начала разговора, когда Эмма сказала, что тайна мистера Найтли раскрыта. Его реакция на эти слова бесценна :)
i love the way she has a big goofy smile on her face when she sees him throughout the show and its in this scene a lot!
they r the cutest thing ever really cant wait for the last episode!
This is so sweet!! I love the facial expressions on knightley's face!! I can't stop watching this!
@0anne ... i have watched, marvelled, enjoyed been enraptured and still I come back for more... this version with Johnny Lee Miller and Romola Garai is FANTASTIC and is my favourite version of Emma now... I must get the DVD... *swoons and sighs in total contentment*... Many thanks for posting the dance... it is beautiful and makes me cry with the simplicity and also watching both realise they love each other... LOVELY indeed :0)x
I CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! JLM's acting is so great...you can see the emotions coming on his face. Romola is all shiny and happy...it's the best scene of the film and it always touches me so much!
This scene makes me catch my breath- so beautiful.
gosh, this is so perfect! his eye flicker, her sincere look, both realising they are falling for the other one...ah, if life could be like an austen novel! ;)
this is one of the most romantic scenes I have ever seen!!
"Dear Emma"
Oh! This is the most beautiful dance scene EVER. I love Knightly. I love Emma. I love Jane Austen. I love--I could go on all day!
Shivers. Oh so romantic.
Don't tell my husband, but I'm a little in love with Jonny Lee Miller, and have been since Eli Stone. Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy was my "dream suitor" until I saw this version of Emma, and now Jonny's Mr. Knightley has shot into first place.
this adaptation is absolutely amazing!!!! i even like it better than the last one with gwyneth paltrow!!!! Johnny lee miller is such a great actor. ..
ok..i luv da dance...brilliant acting...most of i luv dat knowing smile on mrs.weston's face towards da end of the dance!
I couldn't agree more, it really does get better and better and keeps surprising me.
Exquisite dancing and my heart has near burst from my chest... Lovely, lovely and lovelier still... *swoons into near-by chair*... Beautifully acted and the realization between them both as the dance progresses... Oh did I say this was lovely.. :0)x
This scene is pure perfection. I can literally FEEL them falling for each other with every dance move.
Мистер Найтли уже влюблён... И видно, как этот танец окончательно закрепляет это чувство. Эмма прекрасна. Любимая сцена в фильме, одна из лучших.
i love them :)
i just want to be an extra in one of these films so i can dress up and learn the dances :P
these two are magic!
@fantassissimo i couldnt agree more with you! it is a very "simple" scene yet you can perceive all the unconfessed feelings between them!
I'm beginning to like this version of Emma. Lurve this dancing scene too. Thank u 0anne for uploading it!!!
ok its official im ADDICTED to Jane Austen
LOL! He's too much of a gentleman to actually do that, but I get the feeling that at this point if he did, Emma would have let him. With that lighting, that music and Mr Knightley looking at you like THAT, who could resist? ;-)
Bravo! This will be one of my favorites in my collection.
I LOVE THIS SCENE thank you for posting it!!!
this music is sooo beautiful!!
This is my most favorite part...love the music.
I love Emma and Mr. Knightly.
She's so perfect as Emma :D This version is so much better than the Gwyneth Paltrow one.
I've never read the book, nor have I seen the full movie, but I absolutely love this scene.
I'm in love with this music!!!
I know, that's exactly what I thought. It's just so beautifully done.
I just looked it up, and the actors are 10 years apart. I think Johnny Lee Miller looks very young for a 37 year old.
I love this song so much
I'm watching Emma on pbs right now
This is so superb you start thinking that Romola and Miller are actually in love O__o
Creepy good acting
I absolutely adore the piece of music they're dancing on.....The actors are so talented and this scene is wonderfully done! The dance slowly turns into a shy, unspoken declaration of strong feelings.....It's something more than love is a perfect harmony between two people.
Could anyone find the name of the artist and the music? It's wonderful and I would really like to have it and listen to it more....
you can just tell they are falling in love with each other by how they look at each other!! *sigh*
Yes, amazing dance scene, always these scenes are precious, but this adaptation keeps surprising me and I loved the movie, but the series keeps getting better and better
I was slowly caving over the past 2 episodes, but this scene decides it - JLM has officially overtaken Jeremy Northam as my favourite Knightley ever (and that's saying something, because I LOVED Northam in the role). Beautiful scene - thanks for posting!
It makes me want an Emma prequel. The dance is so sexy, they are right up against each other and gazing into each other's eyes but no one seems to notice because its Emma and Mr Knightley. This suggests they very close before this.
The best Emma.
"..Oh so enchanting, beautiful and I am all a flutter, I must go and sit by an open window and fan my person, surely the vapours cannot be upon me, for I saw a Doctor only last evening..." *Swoons yet again*
I agree, Mr. Miller was wonderful!
I wish this was actually a dance from Jane Austen's time!
Wonderful scene! I love them. :)
I'm dying to watch ep 2!!! But dang! I don't live in the UK. Love it when Emma laughs! :)
Purely enchanting
FUUU---
I can't decide between mr Darcy and mr Knightley!!
It's been composed for the series by Samuel Sim who did the music; I think the BBC have released a soundtrack, but I'm not sure.
oh my god, it is like make love just dancing. Observe when they get closer, their see each other, touch their hands and weist. And then she breaths. :).
Emma is said to have hazel eyes, but no other physical descriptions are given except that she has 'regular features, open countenance, the bloom of full health, a pretty height and size, a firm and upright figure'.
However, I too imagine Emma as a blonde.
I love the clip as well! just wonder if BBC will publish the soundtrack of the drama. The music is so lovely.. I cannot stop smiling when I saw the clip..... :D

0:44-48!! i actually fell in love with this scene. The dance is so sweet and romantic!! God I wish i lived in them times where there would be dances you would learn for the balls and gentlemen would maybe ask you for the dance. Now days its all grinding and all crude. I was born in the wrong century.
My favorite adaptation of Emma. But I can't decide who is the best Mr. Knightley, between Jonny Lee Miller and Jeremy Northam. I love them both.
after watching this scene for the millionth time, i couldn't help but notice how awkward jane fairfax dances at 0:46! LOL
it doesn't help that she's paired with the tallest of all the men, while she's the shortest! maybe they're meant to contrast with the perfect match (mr. knightley and emma) =D
It's called "The Last Dance" composed by Samuel Sim on the Emma soundtrack, but I believe in the movie Mrs,
I SO want to do this at my wedding!
Mr. Darcy is like my 3rd favorite behind Mr. Knightley and Mr. Thornton
Damn I'm here again, lol.
If you find out when it will be released, please let us now! The soundtrack is great!
th-cam.com/video/q6-mV57JCw8/w-d-xo.html
even if I don't think that is the Best version of emma concerning the Actors That Dance is the best Scene in al the Jane Austen Movies I've seen
OMG!! Stop in 2:00 and look at the face of Emma! hahaha the shadows make her look like a creepy clown hahahaha XD
Here I am again... sighing and wishing it were me instead of the gorgeous Romola, who is dancing with the equally gorgeous |Mr Knightley... Johhny Lee Miller reall does 'knock yer socks off', with his lovely smile and dimples, and the flickering of his lovely eyelashes... *sighs and fanning frantically now*
"...For to be sure I knew how it would be, the vapours were upon my before my first draft of punch.. . I must sit and watch the assemble from a position by an open window...." LOL :0)x
how pretty!!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT TO LEARN THIS DANCE!!!!!!!'
@azngrl318 ... Not sure of the name of the music, but the 'tune' is played at the start of Emma and also at the end where Knightley takes Emma on honeymoon... wonderful indeed... :0)x
hahhaha look at the Mrs. Weston and Ms. Bates faces, and Frank is seeing them too. 1:59
dance starts at 0:27
who is the artist of thus tune can someone tell me please?????
i love dis scene so much its just lovely!!!!
lol this is exactly what I am feeling! about this and colin firth in pride and prejudice!
saw this on PBS not too long ago...twas good....just the others in my family don't like period pieces much:(
What is this dance actually called? Like, is this a traditional English country dance?
@Leonhart407 you should! and you can find the ebook for free on the gutenberg project homepage! and don't worry it's legal.
and you should watch the whole film, it is worth it!!!
captain wentworth gives close competition too
Elton calls it something different because in the context of the movie it can't be called "The Last Dance." ;-)
It's an Emma OST composed by Samuel Sim, and the track is named 'Love Story'... appropriate, right!
@ifitspink06 me too.
i would miss the dentists and womens rights, and hygiene and stuff. not to mention if you got born into the wrong social class O.o
what is this dance called? i love it
ifitspink06: I feel the same as you...born in the wrong century...
What's the dance called? I've seen it somewhere before.
Sorry folks, MrDarcy will always number #1 fav than any of these other guys... didn't you read the book?
Does anyone have the instructions or know where to find them? please *.*
