The Waltz had two personas - the socially acceptable Longways Country Dance set to Waltz music, and the scandalous Couple Waltz, twirling in a 'closed-hold embrace'. Relentlessly, the Waltz worked its way around all of post-French-Revolutionary Europe. 1811 Mirror of Graces: ".. ...with regard to the lately-introduced German waltz, I cannot speak, so favourably. ... that none but husbands and wives can with any propriety be partners in the waltz.'' . By 1812 the Couple Waltz had infiltrated and split British Regency society in London. Lord Byron wrote "The Waltz" "...And true, though strange --- Waltz whispers this remark,. My slippery steps are safest in the dark!" It was only post-Waterloo, when the Couple Waltz found a degree of acceptance; effectively marking the end of Longways Country Dancing. Our performance reflects the Waltz's colourful passage across Europe to acceptance: ;from the Longways Country Dance ; through the French Revolution ; to the Couple Waltz (Quadrille) and beyond... Enjoy! Liz
