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 CZcams 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.

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.
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.
@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?
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.
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.
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.

I love the expressions of the ladies, they seem to enjoy the dance very much indeed. ....just love this video.
Definitely my favourite from amomg the Playford dances.
The music is almost Medieval
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.
Sou apaixonado pela dança e música dessa época.

Compare this to "Harlem Shake" or "Gangnam Style"... Our culture made a sad step backwards. :'(
Are you German? Your videos are great, I love historical dances, classical music, vintage and nostalgia!
