    It's very nice to see the stepping and proper dancing being done here. So many "reconstructions" of dancing from this era (let's be honest, virtually all of them are American) have the "dancers" walking around in a rather silly manner. I play the tune "The Downfall of Paris", and I know its complicated history. From the French stage, to revolutionary song, used by French military bands during the Napoleonic war, picked up there by musicians from other militaries, and then in Britain evolving into a country dance tune. I've often wondered how it would have worked as a country dance, as someone who plays for English country dance (or English ceilidhs as we now tend to call them), so this video is very interesting to me. Thanks for posting it!
