verry goed heel goede film van het oude kasteel van geysteren wel heel goed dat u dit bewaard want het zou toch zonden zijn als dit verloren zou gaan met de dans en zo als u het wil mag u mij ook een koppie sturen dan wordt het gagaranderd nog beter bewaard

The first dance looked very much like Steeple Claydon... a village just down the road from me.

How very strange. Not sure the first dance is necessarily in the Headington style but interesting nonetheless. But the music's much more interesting... The second tune (1:05 onwards) is "Gathering Peascods", originally published in Playford's English Dancing Master in 1651. 260 years later, Cecil Sharp dug it out for part II of his Country Dance Book and it's more recently been in the repertoir of Brass Monkey. So what the f*ck's it doing being played at a Dutch folk dance festival in the 30s??

I think it is very sweet & innocent. both of my kids folk dance, and I thought it was interesting to show them this. Thanks!
