Traditional European dances are so wonderful... I had the opportunity to participate in one when I visited France on foreign exchange and it was really fun, even though I had no idea how it went. :)
I wonder when they learn these dances.... Is it part of school curriculum? because they are so many of them, i would have trouble remembering the steps to one of the pretty dances.
@XxForTheKillerIsMexX I assume one was taught to dance from early childhood or in adolescence. Back in these days people learnt to dance in a variety of ways; it was accustomed to know these things when attending social gatherings. It was how they socialised. Today we don't which can be said, is a pity if you ask me.
She really must have been completely blind that she didn't realize her feeling flustered and blushing was because she is in love with Mr. Knightley. She didn't look that way with Frank at all while they were dancing or in any scene with Frank.
Always liked Mr. Knightly; such a great guy!! Hes only #2 on My Austin men list; Federick is #1!! :) If you've watched him from the beginning; you would have noticed every time he says; "Dear Emma"; he ALWAYS says it THAT way!! I like that when they dance its a romantic dance. OMG why didn't she realize it there; u can tell shes flustered around him; and is almost blushing. There you go; if thats doesn't prove he is Mr. Dixon I dont know what does!!
Is it just me or do you not get a warm fuzzy kind of feeling watching them dance? You can tell she is taken aback how she feels dancing with him and she quite enjoys it. I love how they stare into each other's eyes and when he is so close to her he looks as if he wants to kiss her right there. So sweet.
Sweet and funny moment- Knightley comes to Harriet's rescue and then he has to pull her back from rushing out to the dance floor at the wrong time. "whoa"! LOL
this is my favourite adaptation, particularly because they get the spirited and emotional underlay of the ball - the scene where elton slights harriet smith is perfect! and knightley swooping in and being a true gentleman. :)
Favorite part is how you see him look at Emma and realizes how upset she feels over no one dancing with Harriet, so he basically does it for the both of them.
@xelmolavenderx I think it was just the part of good education, to know basic dances. this is one more thing I miss nowadays, when you go to the party most of the people moves like a gigant worms, without any charm and routine.
Notice how Emma stops giggling after she began dancing with Mr Knightley. With Frank she was always laughing, but with Mr Knightley, it is as if she realised that this not a mere dance with a mere friend! Something more, something very, very serious... indeed!
@RushTheSilver hum I don't agree, I think it's mostly because the dance is calm, whereas the other were village dances, she still laughs a lot during all the dance while everybody is being more serious
i'm very curious as to how the folks all know the particular steps of each dance, when to change partners, where to step etc...do their mums teach them or something?
you will notice they are only doing about five different things over and over again; the way the scene was shot kind of disguised it, but there it is.
A beautiful scene, a fantastic rendition of an amazing classing.
I love the little head jerk Mr. Knightly does at 3:13 to let Harriette know which way they are about to go. I also love the jealous way he's watching Frank...and his laugh at 4:18...and the long stare he gives Emma when she says she'll dance with him...and the way he says "Dear Emma."...and pretty much everything else about him as well =)
@rcbpiccolo I know; u can tell hes jealous. Mr. Knightly is SOO sweet and a gentlemen. Shows who is good man and whos not; with the whole Harriet situation.
2:46 and the award goes to Mr Knightley for being the nicest, kindest, amazing (and any other synonyms for the word perfect and kind) man in the whole world!!!
its sooooo sweet when knightly dances with harriet :) and it looks like such a fun dance, and of course we save the most romantic dance for knightly and emma and how romantic it is the way theyre looking at each other :)
I love the dance; one of the most romantic moments in any movie I've ever seen. Why hasn't the soundtrack been released? And why is Mr Elton looking so sweaty?!
I love the dancing part between Emma and Knightley. More importantly, I love the music they picked.. It's really good! But.. ya.. Randomn ass piano in the middle... Pretty confusing.. :P
I have added this part to my favorites so I could quit searching for it, I Love Mr. Knightley saving Miss Smith and I LOVE LOVE the dance Emma and he share... Oh my.
How utterly beautiful Knightley and Emma's dance was.. it gave me chills but in a good way.. *sighing deeply as I type*... Simply wonderful.. You can see the love blossoming.. :0)x
OMG! That song and that dance they picked for Emma and Knightly to dance to was PERFECT! You could really see them falling in love with each other! :D Granted, the piano came out of nowhere, since there's no piano in that room, but what the hey. Still perfect.
I love that, because its a country dance, they are way more relaxed than in a lot of the period films. they had both kinds of dancing at these country balls: the refined kind that you usually see, and, of course, this
I wonder if Mrs Elton's problem with Emma stems from the insecurity bred from the fact that her husband was once extremely enamoured of Emma. And still might be for all she knows.
@rainflorest Do you mean Bath? It's in the south-west and the festival takes place for a whole week througout Bath. Try googling Jane Austen Bath festival :)
I love how you can see the changes in the character's emotions when Emma and Mr. Knightley dance. the shift in where they are in their relationship and the realisation of "the something more". :) i love this version the best.
i've watched the dance scene 5 times it's so wonderful! i think it's my favorite ever in an austen adaptation, there's just so much conveyed by the two of them. made up for the brother/sister line being cut out
When I first saw the ad for this miniseries (I live in Canada, by the way), I thought, "Hey.. that's the guy from Trainspotting!" I just don't see him in a romantic role at all. It would be like Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon. But no, actually he fits the role, and I really love his version of Mr. Knightley - a true gentleman, but have no clue how to woo women haha..!
Wow...loved Mr. Knightley's performance! When she said, "Your secret's out." and his head whipped around afraid she knew his real secret...priceless!!!!
This is my favorite portrayal of Knightly now..... Mark Strong is a wonderful actor and Jeremy Northam is hot hot hot, but this guy.... he just GETS the character. He manages to make Knightly believably more mature than Emma, but still absolutely clear as to why he finds her attractive, aided by Romola's performance as well. Well done, BBC!
This is my favorite dancing scene I've seen so far from a Jane Austen inspired movie. I love the musical piece they chose...it's very sweet and fitting to the actors.
@musicaltrees I think mrs. elton figures out that her husband held a torch for her once....indeed he still pays a little too much attention to her. Also, Emma won't submit to Mrs. Elton's trying to take over. This is from reading the book and watching the whole movie.
lol. I don't see that.... but, I have actually seen ALL three versions before (the whole movies), Anyways I do feel sorry for Harriet and Jane, and glad that Emma befriends Jane later.
I read the book too, and I think it's because Mrs. Elton feels she's superior than everybody in Highbury, and she wants to "lead" the society - but Emma doesn't allow that.
love the way emma smiles

Home run, BBC....and that is from an American who adores period dramas... I love the costuming and the dance with Mr. Knightley!

@musicaltrees I think mrs. elton figures out that her husband held a torch for her once....indeed he still pays a little too much attention to her. Also, Emma won't submit to Mrs. Elton's trying to take over. This is from reading the book and watching the whole movie.

lol. I don't see that.... but, I have actually seen ALL three versions before (the whole movies), Anyways I do feel sorry for Harriet and Jane, and glad that Emma befriends Jane later.

I read the book too, and I think it's because Mrs. Elton feels she's superior than everybody in Highbury, and she wants to "lead" the society - but Emma doesn't allow that.

The Ship's Cook dance seems to be a dance of a lower class, don't you think? But I like the melody :)
