  • omg, i want to know what the name of the music they are playing :O

  • What terrific music. What fun. Thanks for the posting.

  • This is wonderful to see! My 5th great grandfather Jasper Moylan, was Captain of the Phila Dance Assemblies in the 1790's...this gives me a chance to see it in real time. Keep up the good work!

  • This seems like it is out of a time when things were simpler, cleaner, nicer. Clean fun? Clean dancing? Old-fashioned? Who'd a thunk it?

  • to peggyleiby--I was thrilled to learn that your group is near Phila.! We live in estreme N.E. Ohio, near Erie. We could come it your group ever does a weekend of dance, or something! Does this ever happen?

  • @mmalover16 Nonesense! It's beautiful, and the music is very nice!

  • Thank you so much for posting this! I am planning to attend a session of ECD tomorrow night and wanted to see what it looked like before I went. This video really helped me get a better understanding of this type of dancing. I like it! (grin)

  • I'm a beginner. Can you give me the names of these dances?

  • From 1:25 to 2:31 it´s NONESUCH. Tune from the 16th century (after Giorgio Mainerio 1535-1582), dance figures in Playford´s English Dancing Master, 1st edition 1651.

    2) The Physical Snob

    3) The Gypsy Round [Eric Leber]

    4) Nonesuch

    5) Key to the Cellar [Jenny Beer]

    6) Look Both Way Ways [Rich Jackson]

    7) The Ragg

    8) Elizabeth [Colin Hume]

    I've listed the choreographers of the modern English dances. It's a lively selection!

  • it's so much fun. way better and enjoyable than dancing these days.

  • Perfect video to introduce people to the various styles. I like that it is a social setting, not staged.

  • Looks great - such joyful gatherings of dancers!

    Nice balance of dance styles, music, and pace.

    Nothing too long - keeps us engaged.

    Bravo !
