The music played is "Krüsel-Konter" a German Folk Dance. Don Armstrong discovered this peace of music, when he was in Germany to teach Contra Dances over here and got the permission from Walter Kögler (former owner of Tanz label), to use it for his dance, published by the Lloyd Shaw foundation.

No matter how many times I see this, it never fails to inspire. Bravo to your choreographer and the group. Do not underestimate the impact of a performance like this on the dancing world.

I cane across these dances by chance and will introduce the Circle Waltz to our dance class. We do Sequence Dancing here in the UK and I think that one or more of these dances will go down a treat. Of course the appeal was greatly heightened by the fine performers. Thank you Central Illinois Civil Dance Society!

Is this the abe lincoln in Springfield Illinois? Looks like the entrance for the mary todd dress exhibit in the back. This virginia boy might have had to show you the reel for real if i was there lol. When i did southern civil war reenacting i the late 80s early 90s we would have dances after all the spectators left. Some of the funnest parties of my young life.

The cutaway coats look a little late in their cut, wouldn't the Civil War era have seen a morning coat that was a bit closer to a frock in cut, in addition to frocks being the more acceptable coat throughout? I could be wrong, but I am curious.

"The Streets of Laredo" is a later, obviously American adaption of the original English ballad, "The Unfortunate Rake." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unfortunate_Rake There is also an Irish version, "The Bard of Armagh."

perhaps no longer relevant to you, but according to another comment on the video, the title is Streets of Laredo. i have not verified that it's right.
