There are numerous performances on YT of this quadrille, but this is my favorite by far - and it's the most elegant. Just what I needed on a beautiful spring day!

Listening YET AGAIN on a dull Saturday evening . . . I love these dancers - they're so graceful, and they actually look as if they're enjoying themselves! Bravo! Brava! Mille grazie!

[@richardcleveland8549]

Back for another shot of sheer-joy-of-dancing by these superb dancers! Magnifico!

Watching this the night before the election . . . I need something cheerful, and THIS is it! Mille grazie!

Bravissimo! Fledermaus is one of my favorite operettas, and I especially love the quadrille; this French version is absolutely wonderful! What a superb group of dancers! Grazie, Signor, mille grazie!

I love the bouncy style and footwork - so much more fun than how quadrilles seem to be danced in English TV period dramas.

Perhaps it has something to do with the parlous condition of "The Stately Homes of England," as detailed by Mister Noel Coward . . . .

In the Regency the quadrille was very bouncy with lots of footwork. But, by the mid 19th century (1850s), quadrilles were now walked through as the large skirts didn't allow the footwork to be seen. In fact, some dance manuals expressly forbid bouncy footwork, saying things like 'Do not pride yourself on doing the steps “neatly”, unless you are ambitious of being taken for a dancing master' and 'Unless a man has a very graceful figure and can use it with great elegance, it is better for him to walk through the quadrilles.'
