Romany Polka at a Moscow Ball

Danced at the 2016 Trianon Historical Dance Festival, Moscow. Choreographed by Richard Powers, following original 19th century steps and prototypes of polka choreographies. Cellarius, D'Albert, Durang and others choreographed long polka sequences like this one. Music is "Romany Life" by Victor Herbert, from a 19th century opera. A written description of Romany Polka is here: socialdance.stanford.edu/Sylla...

    I can't stop grinning, and I'm an introvert, so it's really quite strange for me. I think this was the little push I needed to try historical sewing.

    The woman in the yellow and blue dress at 0:09 is absolutely gorgeous. She is beautiful, and her dress and hair makes everything 10x better!!!! I also like the orange 1840s dress 0:34 with the white trim. I love this video so much

    Невольно начинаю улыбаться каждый раз, когда смотрю. Как бы я хотела хоть со стороны вживую поглядеть на этот чудесный танец! Он меня своей живостью и весёлостью цепляет куда сильнее, чем элегантные и степенные вальсы. А подолы платьев подчёркивают движения, придавая им красочности - прямо глаз не оторвать!

    Look for historical reenactment groups that do balls, or historical sites that have open dance nights.
