We perform a variety of breathtaking pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries in authentic period costume. Each of our dances brings to life a period in history, complete with the music, dance, dress, and mannerisms of the time. Many of our dancers have studied with dance historian Richard Powers of Stanford University and have performed in such settings as the Smithsonian Institution, Paris, and Prague. Through the accurate recreation of these eras, we introduce our audience to the rich and evolving culture of dance.

Another splendid demonstration of Prof. Powers' genius as a choreographer and teacher . . . but I DO wonder if he ever dances in these??
Brilliant! Beautifully done! Congratulations as always to Prof. Powers!
Charming. Well done to the choreographer and dancers.

This is certainly the most energetic of Prof. Powers' many re-created dances . . . exhausting just to watch! Bravo to the dancers!
Прекрасный танец!
Изумительно!
Love the crinoline dresses and Polka, but the spinning around makes me dizzy.
AND YET, STILL NICE...THOSE ELBOW CATCHES,ETC...
Wonderfully well danced; a splendid work.
Polka, Polish national dance and polonez.
Beautiful.
what is the name , track, song on this video?
The song name is the Hacienda Tango.
What is the name of this track?
Thomas Allen, "The Plunger", if you're still interested. Unfortunately, I haven't found a normal recording:( there's one of scaring speed here on CZcams, though: czcams.com/video/lIdfCgRMyWs/video.html
nicely hurried...............
A beautiful and timeless polka by František Matěj Hilmar - this is the first printed polka ever and they look stunning dancing to it!
Кто знает , что это за музыка
Кто знает , что это за музыка?
Perfect! Prompt for that wonderful music?
Fabulous!!! I probably should know but, what is the name of this piece of music?
Thomas Allen, "The Plunger", if you're still interested :) czcams.com/video/lIdfCgRMyWs/video.html
Love those dresses! ^^
Искрометный, зажигательный танец, полный выдумки и юмора не может не оставить ответного огня в душе. Столько легкости, непринужденности, свободы и отточенности движений. Костюмы соответствуют характеру танца: яркие, молодежные, современные. Видео дает возможность зафиксировать многие детали танцевальной композиции, а не только получить общее представление об увиденном и услышанном. Спасибо! Светлана Давыдова
Прекрасно использование музыки Шопена, соответствующее ей элегантное, аристократическое решение хореографического замысла. Этому помогают и костюмы, и мягкость, пластичность, грация движений, а также качество представленного видео. Благодарю! Светлана Давыдова
Lol you'll did good I enjoyed watching lol
So lovely! <3333
I have no words for how amazing this was. Having seen it in person (I'm the girl in the purple shirt sitting front and center!), I still cannot get over the fact that nothing in my life will ever compare to the awesomeness that is Decadanse Libre. :)
