Who is author of the music and where can i find it ?

[ECandSCDancer]

@muscasket The music is a slight variation on "L'Annette," which was published c. 1820 in Simonet's "Fashionable Parisian Quadrilles." The devisors of this dance reworked the music to fit the dance.

I was there. Great video. Unfortunately I didn't dance this one. Do you have more?

I always wished someone would post this dance on Youtube. It's always so much fun. And this ball room was the best.
