  • Performed by the Academy of Danse Libre, at the Stanford Fall Ball. The performance version of W. H. Basley's Galopade Quadrille has four of the five figures (a figure was occasionally omitted at that time) without repeats. The original version repeated each figure, for the sides to do the heads part, with breaks between each figure. The performance name Canon Galop Quadrille refers to the canon dynamic of several figures. The performance version also specifies the setting steps, and gives the ladies an extra turn in the continued exterior ladies chain. Video by Jason Anderson.

    This is the Finale from Josef Strauss' Op. 115 Folichon ("Jester") Quadrille from 1862, taken twice through, since the original was only about a minute. Great use of the work of a very, very underrated Strauss brother. Love the music, and love the dancers in this video!

      I agree about Josef Strauss. We're all fortunate that he gave up his civil engineering career to devote his life to music.

      @@moxieola I was pretty pleased with myself for making the connection! I've played the Canon Galop many times, and was listening to Josef's Quadrille Feast on Dailymotion (Ziehereien 478) an hour ago when Folichon came up. I went to Romany Polka first, thence to Canon - and bingo! I love the work you do with dancers - ballroom is wonderful, and your folks are so talented and elegant; thank you.

      It's very good idea (it's very funny). But I asked my teacher for the music and he already sent me it yesterday.

    Absolutely lovely. Just goes to show there was nothing boring or nonromantic whatsoever about ballroom dancing in the 19th century. I'm curious, though, whether the costumes in this video are circa 1850s, despite the music being 1862. Wish they had zoomed in on those gorgeous dresses.

      Excellent eye, to spot circa 1850s costumes, with petticoats, back when hoops were not yet in fashion. These dancers you see make their own costumes, and they each make three costumes for the 19th century. One for Regency Era, one for mid-century, and one for late-century. They do *not* each make ten costumes, one for each decade. I don't know any vintage dance performing group that does. 1860s hoops are easier than 1850s multiple petticoats, which is why most other vintage groups choose 1860s. So why do does Danse Libre choose 1850s or for mid century? 1) Most of their mid-century repertoire is dances from the 1840s and 1850s. 2) Because 1860s dances like this can still be danced in 1850s petticoats, as you see. But not vice versa. 1840s and '50s polkas and mazurkas cannot be authentically danced in 1860s hoops because the hoops sway like bells, and expose women's ankles and legs. This is why the polka and mazurka faded quickly when hoops came in.
