It's a pity we miss some of the footwork, but otherwise very nice...

Thats the best reply I ever seen in Youtube!
Anyway nice dancing but the quality of the music can be a little better.

Thank you for posting. Is there footwork for the second variation available and other variations as well?

Actually this video shows the first 3 variations of the Folies. I will look through my videos and see if I can post a full body view that shows all the variations. Thanks.

Thank you dear LaBelleDance it would be very kind from you. All 32 variations are staged?

No indeed. However there are several different variations of the Folies d'Espagne. The most common one, a solo for a woman (Feuillet, 1700) is comprised of 6 variations. These also exist as a duet, same steps.
There is also a male solo comprised of 4 more complex variations, and another from an undated manuscript with 9 variations. Also quite virtuosic.
Therefore the maximum number of variations performable would be 19. However, the dancers might be quite tired at the end. :)

Thank you for informing. I have seen restored and performed by Natalie van Parys and there were only 11 or 12 variations. So, I had though that there were sources for all variations but only the part had been restored till I found the details of the survived sources from you.

We've posted a video showing the whole body view of the Folies. It also incorporates 2 variations from a French sarabande. It's posted on our page now.
