Magnifique et heureuse époque de courtoisie, élégance, romantisme, délicatesse - dans certains milieux aisés, on se comprend. Les milieux aisés de notre époque contemporaine n'ont plus cette classe ni ce respect.
J'aime infiniment cette musique du passé. fort bonne interprétation, bravo pour les costumes des deux sexes Merci à vous merci à TH-cam qui ouvre la porte à de nombreux talentueux artistes comme vous.
The very first dance in the very first edition of John Playford's 'The English Dancing Master' of 1651! How pleasant to see it danced with Baroque steps. I dance with a group that avoids the side couples having to shuffle up as the top couple goes under the arches by moving the whole set up diagonally on the double forward and back - not in the original instructions, but it works well!
Basically the same tune as "the lark in the morning" I used to play a lot of Irish Music, my mum did not have a musical ear and said it all the sounded the same like "The cat's got the measles" maybe she was right.

@childgrove One of my favourite Playfords - both the music and the dance. It's unexpectedly dark for a 'summer' dance but I like it all the more for it. In my dance group we do it very similarly to the above; I think that 'country dance' can misleadingly produce expectations of a rough and ready style of dance?
Some early music songs survived into the 18th and 19th centuries in the form of "folk" or "peasant" dances. The people in the video look like 18th century upper class types, who would have been up on the "latest tunes", but even THEY at times "played" at being rustics.
Yes, thats very funny. A "problem" of many historical dance groups in Germany, many of them dancing often only the duple minors from the Playford-editions. When Rococo started as a style, the Playford dances were out of fashion.
We certainly do. Attractive clothes lead to thoughts of unseen delights, that might be ahead. If all our wobbly bits were on display, what a sight that would be.
But "Upon a summers day" is not a "Rococo-Dance". In the time after the 1720s, the Playford-Dances were mostly forgotten---for 200 years. In the 20th century these dance were rediscovered by Cecil Sharp.
A few million years from swinging-on-a-branch to this, and a couple of hundreds of years for 'dance' to mean any jerky, obscene, aggressive movement you make in panties and bras while swearing ryhtmically (which passes for music). Life is weird. Still, it's a good thing men's fashion has changed.

Sou apaixonado pela dança e música dessa época.
I fear I would be laughing each time I had to duck underneath someone's arm because I am RIDICULOUSLY short. *lol* I just find that way too funny!
In our Playford group we rise and fall on the feet more but dance like this. The costume does help to perform better. I enjoy performing in costume.
Very nice ,from a limey across the pond !
Very very nice see and hear your dears in open your sincere historical -ethno-distance in fantastish -light dancing!!!! Very big Danke Schon!!!

Lovely! Well done!
The music and dance renaissance. The costumes are rokoko.

Entzückend ❤

Fico feliz em saber que já fomos civilizados.
Too true! especially about the men's fashion bit
I'm far from being a prude, but my God, we humans DO look better with clothes on!
Most animaux are born with clothin.
Too bad nobody uses it
So true.
My god! they look like dancing drapes.
We certainly do. Attractive clothes lead to thoughts of unseen delights, that might be ahead.

Are you German? Your videos are great, I love historical dances, classical music, vintage and nostalgia!

Compare this to "Harlem Shake" or "Gangnam Style"... Our culture made a sad step backwards. :'(
