as much as darcy come across as strikingly autistic, i really think the whole bennet family is autistic as well. just not too "stereotypical" autistic. and maybe darcy's friend bingley is autistic too or maybe adhd... both?

so basically the 1995 adaptation has really just one problem - lack of Curtesy Start. That would not look great on the screen. Så what were all those 12 minutes about? (yeah all other adaptations are basically bad, we all know it)

If I were to go to a British Country Dance (which I have done for years) I'd expect old dances to old tunes. I learned the dances annotated by Mr Playford in a university social club, I still dance them if announced even though they are now 400+ years "out of date", sometimes it's appropriate. Mr Playford published "the Dancing Master" from his London shop, travelling dancing masters would go to Mr Playford's shop give him their new choreographies and get a book with other people's new dances. At most historic dances that I've attended the dance list would be published in advance and you would be expected to know most of the dances.

This is an amazing video!! I’ve actually been writing a regency romance (just for fun, nothing to be published or anything) but I found it incredibly hard to find information about the dances beyond “there were quadrilles and cotillions, they danced in sets, the waltz was scandalous at first and then wasnt”

So interesting! Just now breaking into Bridgerton series!❤

I’m so glad I found you! Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks for sharing your talents ❤️

A neurodivergant Autistic cat lover from the UK here. All dancing here is called Folk Dancing, and includes Court and (Country, done by the peasants) dances. Balls and dances include a mixture of Longways, Circles, and Squares. I only heard the term ECD when American visitors came over and used it. We use the term Duple and Triple Minor not metre. When arming we don't hook the elbows, the man supports the lady's forearm on his, (No lady or gent wants to crush their lace engageantes.) We use the terms Chorus and Verse as well as Changes and Figures. Gathering Peascods is pronounced as Pees cods not peskods, Bransles are pronounced Brawls. First time I have seen this and will enjoy seeing your other videos.

I was OBSESSED with Little Women growing up. I would read the book and watch the film every Christmas and often compared my own sisters to the March sisters (we grew up in a very similar, homeschooled, situation with a head strong mother who wanted us all to grow up to explore own own passions and be unabashedly us). Growing up, I was a bit Jo and a bit Amy, and I sort of understand why that might be now. I was always a “tom boy” who honestly did not get girls my age and never ever felt like I fit in with them. Playing with them was awkward and weird and I always felt like some type of alien trying to conform to whatever social situation they seemed to just get naturally. I much preferred playing with boys because they all did fun game based activities. But when I hit puberty I basically delved deep into my art and started becoming hyper aware of the need to “be like other people” and tried my best to change who I was, much like Amy. I see Amy and Jo as two sides of the same coin, which is why I love their dynamic in the book(s). Jo was unabashedly herself (unmasked) and Amy was extremely good at playing the social game that was expected of her (masked). They both have their special interests/passions (writing vs art). Funnily enough, both characters are similar to me and a sibling of mine (they’re the prolific writer and I’m the artist). My sibling was recently diagnosed AuDHD and I’m currently in the process of seeking my own diagnosis.

You look like you could play Jane Austen in a movie 😯

I know Jane Austen didn't have a concept of autism, but the makers of the 2005 movie definitely did. I really feel like they gave him even more autistic traits on purpose and I'm not complaining

I loved your videos so much and binged them all about a year or so ago- I came back to see if you’d posted anything new and I’m shocked I missed this! So excited to watch it and I hope to see more content from you!

This is a topic I didn't realize I was so interested in. Also, love your dress!

Hope you will get better soon :)

Yikes! The music made this video intolerable.

Sir Phillip crane is just a baron

Why do you think that no music from the past even 100 years ago would never have been used? So you answered your question why standing still waiting to dance to have their conversation would not have been as effective a scene as Lizzie and Mr. Darcy conversing while dancing.

I’m

Interesting pronunciation of “waistcoat”.

Your dedication does you proud.

Been looking for something like this for a while!

Ok I love the editing 👍

I am new to your videos-today is the first day. Have you ever noticed the Anna Karenina with Kiera, what's her face doing an odd dance at the ball where they aren't touching, but keep their arms on their bodies? I was wondering if that was a dance, or made up

I heard in some interview that floors were awfully slippery so maybe that's why they were walking

Thank you for this interesting video! I hope that you can return to lead the ECD monthly dance in San Francisco sometime soon. I recall that you lead the dancing there in February 2020, the last time we met before the Covid-19 closure. My enjoyment of that evening definitely helped me sustain the duration of the containment!

Non-American (and non-British though) dancer here, I have never heard the term "USA dances". And I still don't understand why they're called that...

I would love to see videos done demonstrating authentic Regency ECD called by you!

Omg the Camelot reference killed me 😂😂😂 that’s so true!

*promo sm*

It's great that you were able to put this together and post it. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to more. Wishing you all the best

You lost me when you claimed the series was too long! It could have gone on with more episodes .... each one brilliant!

Great overview, Cassiane! I learned stuff. Looking forward to Part 2.

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you for this!

OOHHH, new video!!! I'll get my snacks and settle in :D

Wait what I missed you live ?!? Yay you’re back!

I was so excited to see a new video from you. Love your work, nobody else I've found on youtube is working in your specific niche - and i love your indepth research and social conscience.

Thank you for this! We are happy to see you back Cassiane!

I have been wanting this video! So excited

It was good to see you back. Excellent video. Have you ever watched the 82 Mansfield Park? They did some different dances than you usually see in the adaptations. I'm looking forward to Part 2. Loved the cats!

I've done Irish Ceili Dancing and Irish Set Dancing and there are definitely some similarities. Set Dancing in particular are usually danced with 4 couples (a full set) with the occasional half set (2 couples)

Is part 1 if this series still available somewhere? I can't seem to find it. - I take this back! I found it. It’s title just wasn’t what I was looking for. :D

Love it! I love going down rabbit holes that involve Regency era. I wish there was an English Country Dancing club in my tiny town. I’ve never done ECD but I could follow along with everything you explained, maybe because I’ve watched almost all of your Jane Austen on Pointe. 😊 Thank you so much for your research and wonderfully entertaining presentation of this fun niche topic! (My teenage daughter also thanks you profusely!)

In yhe past couple of years ive really gotten into historical sewing and bow that i have a few pieces of 18th c and regency clothing im excited to put them to use

This is an older video, but RUclips just recommended it to me. I'm an historical dance nerd, so I didn't really learn anything but I enjoyed seeing your take on it. I am amused, however, that you're discussing Regency ECD and complaining movies don't use the correct music while your background music is ... a 16th French bransle.

The lady with the supposed Bristol accent sounded American to me, with her hard R in "gaRden of SuRRey." I myself am from America, if that helps.

I recognise elements of these in Irish ceili dancing and Irish set dancing

I'm a musician in our Dover, DE ECD band. Of course, we do play dance tunes from the 1500's up to the early 1800s for our demonstrations, and at our regular dances play a few 20th century tunes as well. I never thought of shunning a tune because it was "old". Most of our demos are set around the American Revolution, with a few Regency dances. We don't go forward in time but do go back. I would think there were some favorites they dredged up, even back then. Tithe Pig (1561) and Dublin Bay, for instance. Both so fun.

Hope you feel well soon, dear. Take care of yourself, be hopeful and patient and before you know you’ll be back on your feet. My best hopes for you🫶🫶🫶

we used to dance the triple minor at school (though I didn't know it was called that)

Except Elizabeth said yes to Mr Darcy's offer of a dance! How could an Austen fan not know this?

1:35 Amen! I am just like that!
